Cornmeal Biscuits

Wow! I am eating one right now. It is so good. I have at lest 14 recipes for biscuits and this is one of the best. It tastes like a biscuit and finishes like cornbread. A good southern dish. They are even good with gravy over them.

1 1/4 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon honey
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Bake until biscuits begin to rise, about 5 minutes, and then reduce heat to 400°f. by removing about 4 charcoals from bottom, 2 from top, and bake until golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes more. Remove all heat, and open lid. Let cool 5 minutes and transfer to wire rack. Serve worm or room temperature.
