Maple syrup provides a similar sweetness.

In a large bowl, add 2.25 cups of all-purpose flour and 0.25 cup of corn starch and combine well.

Add 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of baking powder to the flour mixture and mix well.

Cut in 1/2 cup of butter-flavored shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles crumbly sand.

Add 3/4 cup of whole milk to the mixture and fold it in gently to avoid overworking the dough.

Use two large spoons to mix the dough, as it will be tacky and not suitable for working with hands.

Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and brush them with 3 tablespoons of melted butter, reserving some for later.

Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, remove the biscuits and brush the tops with honey only.

Return the biscuits to the oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for another minute, watching closely.

Combine the reserved melted butter with 2-3 tablespoons of honey and warm it in the microwave for about 10 seconds to mix.

Remove the biscuits from the oven again and brush them with the honey and butter mixture.

Return the biscuits to the oven for another minute, for a total baking time of 12 minutes.

Drizzle a little more honey on top of the biscuits before serving.
