Did you know that September is National Honey Month? Here’s a great recipe to try!

Ingredients:
• 4 packages biscuit dough
• 2 c. light or dark brown sugar
• 1½ c. butter, melted
• 2 tbsp. honey
• ½ c. cinnamon sugar mixture
• Walnuts, if desired

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F, and grease a Bundt pan with nonstick spray.
2. Cut each biscuit into quarters, and then coat in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Layer the pieces into the greased pan, making sure they are evenly distributed.
3. In a saucepan, melt together the brown sugar, butter, and honey. Continue to stir until a slightly runny glaze forms, and quickly pour over the biscuit pieces.
4. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown.
5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Carefully place a large plate or serving tray over the pan, and flip over the Bundt pan. Pull the pan away from the bread ring carefully, avoiding the hot glaze. Top with walnuts, if desired.

A home that needs a cut usually just sat too long priced above what buyers will actually pay right now.

Selling soon? Let's set your number right from day one, so you skip that wasted time.
