Pray hard, do your best,
God will handle all the rest.
Here's my biscuit recipe:
3 cups self-rising flour (King Arthur is best)
1 stick cold butter
1 cup (more or less) milk
Pre-heat oven to 500F.
Sift flour into large bowl.
Grate butter into flour (or cut it with a heavy fork) -- there will be small lumps, but that's okay.
Stir in milk. Stir thoroughly with fork until only slightly sticky. If it's too dry to press into a ball, add a little more milk. If it's too sticky to work, add a little flour.
Flour a flat surface (counter top or table). Roll or press the dough out, to about 1 inch thick. Cut with a biscuit cutter or a glass dipped in flour. Place biscuits on cookie tin, not touching each other. Put in oven, and turn heat down to 450 or 425. Bake until golden brown on top (10-15 minutes). Slice and butter. Makes about a dozen.

I make biscuits from scratch all the time. But hubby also likes those layered biscuits. What would happen if you rolled out the dough to 1/4 inch and cut that then layered 3 or 4 layers together before baking? Guess I will have to try it. lol
Maybe put a dash of butter between layers?

I want a set of these! Evidently if you use a sharp biscuit cutter, your biscuits raise higher!

I think that's true! Last night, my daughter made biscuits, and she uses biscuit cutters, and I noticed how nice and tall her biscuits stood! Wow...learn something new every day!

Apparently, you can make square biscuits, too!

It's late, things are headed for the crapper and there is no stopping it. It's just too early to shoot the bastards responsible.
There is a storm comming.
My Fanny Farmer cookbook has a recipe called "Pinwheel Biscuits." It calls for rolling the dough into an oblong 1/4" thick, spreading it with melted butter, rolling it like a jelly roll, slicing and baking. I have a feeling that would give the layered effect.
I also found that when I used lard instead of butter the biscuits were flakier and rose higher.
Yes, sadly, it is the "fat" that makes those yummy lovely layers! I'm going to try these biscuits today!

And do use buttermilk if you have the option. It makes a better flavored and lighter biscuit.
