Honey Almond Biscuits

I love biscuits and am always looking for the next evolution of a tasty country classic. I made this recipe a couple weekends ago in a rush to get something in my belly and get out of the house. They were quick and easy to throw together and recieved rave reviews from Popmuse.

Honey Almond Biscuits

2 cups self rising flour
or 2 cups all purpose flour and 1 tablespoon baking powder
1 stick butter
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds
3 tablespoons honey

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Put flour (or flour and baking soda) in medium bowl. Using a pastry blender cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Toast almond slivers and crumble or crush them roughtly. Combine milk, almonds and honey. Add to butter mixture, mixing just until flour is moistened. Knead dough gently; shape into a ball (if too wet sprinkle with flour until workable). Roll out or pat down dough on a lightly floured surface to 3/4  inch thickness. Using a floured 3 cutter or the rim of a wine glass, cut out the dough, rerolling as needed. Place cut biscut dough close together (about 1/2 inch) on unbuttered baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden. Serve warm with butter and honey.
