    List of Ingredients




    3 cups all-purpose flour
    1 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 cup butter, softened
    1/3 cup plus 1 T honey
    1/3 cup light brown sugar
    2 large eggs
    2 T milk
    1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
    3 T orange juice

    Recipe



    Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together into a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, combine the butter, 1/3 cup honey, and sugar in a large bowl until they are light and fluffy. With the mixer running, add the eggs one at a time until thoroughly incorporated. Add the milk, vanilla, and 2 T orange juice and beat on medium speed until combined. Gradually add the flour mixture and beat for 1 more minute until all the flour is incorporated and a soft dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the remaining honey and orange juice, stir glaze until smooth, and set aside. Divide the dough into 16 equal-sized pieces and form each into either an S-shaped serpentine shape or a twist. For serpentine shapes, roll each dough piece into a "rope" approximately 8" long, bend the rope into an S, and coil each end. To form twists, fold the 8" rope in half and twist the ends of each side over each other 3 times.

    Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Remove the biscuits from the oven, brush with the orange glaze, and continue to bake until golden - about 15 more minutes.

    Cool on a wire rack. Serve with coffee or tea.
