These are quick and easy to make. They also happen to be pretty tasty. 

Honey Biscuits

2 Cups all purpose flour

4 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. sugar

1/2 Cup vegetable shortening

1 tsp. cream of tartar

2/3 Cup whole milk

1/2 stick of butter (melt in small pan and set aside)

1/3 Cup honey

Place flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, cream of tartar in mixing bowl and stir together. Work in shortening until mixture resembles corn meal. Pour milk into flour mixture and mix well. Pour onto floured surface and knead  12-15 times. Break dough into 1/4-1/3 cup size balls. Roll into balls and place on cookie sheet. Pat down to 1/2" thickness. Brush with some of the melted butter. Bake 450 for 10-12 minutes. While biscuits are baking pour honey into the remainder of the melted butter and bring to a boil. Remove honey/butter from heat and  set aside. When biscuits are done brush with honey butter and serve.
