Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 350°F.

Cut 3/4 of the butter into large pieces (you will have extra). In a small pot, combine the brown sugar and butter pieces. Cook on medium, whisking frequently, 4 to 6 minutes, or until melted and thoroughly combined. Turn off the heat. Transfer to the greased pan and spread into an even layer. Evenly top with the sliced orange (there will be empty spots).

In a medium bowl, combine the biscuit mix, flour, and a pinch of salt. Whisk to thoroughly combine.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined (be careful not to overmix). Pour the batter over the topping; carefully spread into an even layer.
