“These honey-flavored biscuits are delectable,” assures Margaret Wilt of Ridley Park, Pennsylvania. They’d be a perfect treat at brunch or alongside soup at lunch or dinner.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Cut in cream cheese and butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the broth, parsley and honey just until moistened.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times. Pat or roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter.
Place 2 in. apart on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 450° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

I had some trouble with this recipe. The dough was very wet, almost like batter. I had to add quite a bit of flour. Then, the biscuits did not rise as expected (brand new baking powder). My guess is with the addition of the flour I should have increased the leavening ingredients. I also noticed there was no salt listed on the ingredient list. I don't know if this was an error or not, but there was obviously something missing in the flavor. One final note, I found the parsley/honey mix an odd flavor. All in all, these were edible, I am even saving the leftovers for tomorrow, but I will not make again.

These were a bit hit with my family...they freeze well, too! I used cilantro instead of parsley.
