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

Preparation

Step 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.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead five to six 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.
For honey spread, combine butter and honey in a bowl; beat until smooth. For cinnamon spread, combine butter, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl; beat until smooth. Serve with the warm biscuits. Yield: about 1 dozen.
