1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Add the butter and toss with the flour. Add the buttermilk and honey, and mix until just combined, adding more buttermilk if needed.
3. Roll the dough out into a 1 inch rectangle and cut into 9-12 biscuits. Place the biscuits on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with buttermilk. Transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool slightly before filling.
4. With an electric beater or in a stand mixer, whip the mascarpone and cream together until stiff peaks form. Fold in the honey.
5. Slice biscuits in half, top with a healthy dollop of honey mascarpone and sliced strawberries. Drizzle with 1-2 tbsp of Black Pepper Balsamic Syrup. Garnish with chopped fresh mint. Top with other half of biscuit, as desired.
