Very healthy biscuits! The flavor was great. I wasn't sure when to add the honey, since it wasn't included in the directions but was listed as an ingredient. I didn't know if it went into the batter or if it was meant to drizzle over the finished biscuits. I ended up putting it into the batter. I did need to add additional flour while kneading the dough. My biscuits didn't rise very much - maybe it was because of the honey? At any rate, the flavor of these biscuits are great and I love how healthy they are!! Thank you. ~Made for Fall PAC~

<p>I am exploring and developing my culinary skills. I enjoy creating things both edible and not. I haven't figured out if I prefer baking or cooking. I also enjoy gardening and have a vegetable garden so we can eat as local as possible. <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt= /></p>
