Notes
Tips for making fluffy biscuits: Use cold butter. Do not mix more than absolutely necessary.
If you don't have buttermilk on hand, just put about 2 TBS. of lemon juice or vinegar into your cup, add whole milk or 2%, and let it sit for a few minutes. It will thicken and work the same as buttermilk.
This recipe yields 5 or 6 biscuits, depending on the size of your cutter.
