Honey Oat Biscuits: (yields 12)

3c flour (I used wheat flour, but all purpose will work. Don't use bread flour--these are already fairly dense)

1/4c packed brown sugar

1 tsp salt

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp cardamom

2.5 tsp baking powder

1c oats

12 Tsp cold, cubed butter

1/3c honey

1c milk

1Tsp butter+ 1Tsp Honey, melted and mixed to brush biscuits before baking.

Cream cheese whip:

8oz (1 pack) cream cheese, room temp

1/3c heavy whipping cream

1/3c powdered sugar

1. Mix all dry ingredients. Stir the oats in last.

2. While mixing on slow, cut the butter in.

3. Combine the honey and milk and fold into the dry mix.

4. On a floured surface, fold the dough at least 3 times. Should be approximately 1” high.

5. Using a cup or cookie cutter, cut the dough into circles and place on a pan lined with parchment paper.

6. Brush each biscuit with the melted honey-butter mix.

7. Bake 15-20 minutes at 415*. Cool for 10 minutes on the pan.

Cream Cheese whip:

1. In a stand mixer, cream the cream cheese. Slowly add the whipping cream and mix on med-high.

2. Turn the mixer off and add the sugar, start on a slow speed and after scraping the sides, mix on med-high for several minutes.

3. While mixing, dice up your strawberries.

Once the biscuits are cool, top with strawberries, then the whipped cream, then more strawberries!
