Mom always made heart-shaped biscuits for Valentine's Day. When I realized how easy they were, I continued her tradition! They're great anytime of year served warm with a honey or cinnamon spread. —Tina Christensen of Addison, Illinois

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • HONEY SPREAD:
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • CINNAMON SPREAD:
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine dry ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With a fork, stir in milk until the mixture forms a ball.
  2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 5 or 6 times. Roll to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a 2-in. heart-shaped cookie or biscuit cutter. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
