A couple of tips regarding biscuits. If you don't have buttermilk, then add a tsp of vinegar to your milk. It helps the rise like buttermilk does.
Secondly, don't knead the dough like you might with bread. Instead, after all the ingredients are put together, push the lump flat to about a half inch thick. Take one side and fold it over, push flat again, take another side and fold it over, push flat. Do that for about 5 or 6 times and it helps with making the ''layers''. Then, roll out the dough as thick as you want to. Anywhere from half inch thick to 3/4 inch thick, cut your biscuits. With a pastry brush, smear the top of each bisquit with melted butter, and bake.
Y'all know the difference between butter and margarine, right??? Makes a huge difference.
As an American you have the right to not believe in guns. You also have the right to not believe in God. But if someone is trying to break into your home, or wants to harm you, the first thing you will do is pick up the phone and call someone with a gun. The second thing you will do is pray that they get there in time. ~Don Moore
