Honey Butter Biscuits

This is not my recipe.  I found it online at www.willcookforsmiles.com.  It is an amazingly easy to prepare recipe and it is totally delicious.  My grandson and daughter LOVE them.  

Biscuits:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
a dash of salt
5 Tablespoons cold butter
2 Tablespoons honey
1 cup cold buttermilk
a little more flour for kneading

Glaze:
2 Tablespoons of honey
3 Tablespoons melted butter

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet or put a sheet of parchment on a baking sheet.
In a bowl of an electric mixer, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low to combine ingredients
Chop cold butter into pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Mix on low, until batter resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in honey and mix for a few seconds
Pour cold buttermilk into the center of the mixture. Mix until just combined, dough will be sticky.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and sprinkle with a little more flour on top. Knead dough 5-6 times and pat into a ½ inch-think circle.
Using a cookie cutter (about 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter), cut out the biscuits. Rework dough scraps into a ball (kneading it as little as possible) and shape it into a circle again. Cut out more biscuits
Place biscuits on the baking sheet leaving about an inch in between.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter and honey. Using a pastry brush, brush each biscuits with honey butter mixture.
Bake for 10-13 minutes (depending on the size of biscuits), until raised and golden brown.
As soon as you take the biscuits out of the oven, brush them with more honey butter mixture.
