NW Washington | Buy a box of Bisquick. Dump Bisquick into bowl, add milk, stir until dough forms. Knead a couple of times, roll out, cut and bake.
Follow instructions on the box.
Biscuits are flour, shorting, baking powder, salt and a little milk or buttermilk. Add a little baking soda if you use buttermilk.
Cut shorting into flour, baking powder and salt mix until it looks mealy, then add liquid to make a dough. Knead just a little and roll to thickness desired, cut and bake in a hot oven. Too much mixing, kneading and rolling is said to make the biscuits tough. I think biscuits were made with lard in the old days. Lard is not any worse for you than Crisco.
Here is Alton Brown of the Food Network take on southern style biscuits using his mother or grandmother's recipe.
