| 1/2 | c | Maple syrup |

Recipe by: The LL Bean Book of "New" New England Cookery Pour the melted
butter and maple syrup into a 9" cake pan, swirling it around to mix well.
Toss the flour, baking powder, and salt together, then cut in the cold
butter, mixing, with your fingertips until the texture is like soft bread
crumbs. Stir in the milk. Turn the dough out and knead it gently about 6
turns - just enough for it to hold together. Either pat the dough or roll
it out to a 1/2" thickness, then cut it into 9 rounds. Arrange the rounds
in the cake pan on top of the maple-butter mixture, and bake in a preheated
375F oven for 12 ~ 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly browned
and the syrup is bubbling up around them.
Serve hot from the pan and eat them all - they don't keep.
