    Try bisquick, they are easy to make biscuits, just add water and bake, put the timmer on so they dont burn.

    Over handling most likely. Just mix enough to blend and when rolling out handle as little as possible. Bake in a hot oven.

    I use self rising flour, buttermilk and cooking oil. stir the milk into the flour till it's like a REAL stiff cookie dough, then stir in about 1/4 c. oil. oh, I start with about 3 cups flour
    I spoon mine individually into a bowl of flour to coat then roll them smooth in my hand, plop onto oiled pan and flip over, bake at 375º till nicely brown, takes mine about 30 minutes but I make them BIG

    I use 2 cups of bisquick add 1/2 cup of sour cream and 1/2 cup of 7up or sprite jf it is a little dry, just add a little bit more 7up .Bake on 350 about 10 to 15 min or so till they are light brown on top. They are as light as a feather.

    Great homemade baking powder biscuits
    Flour baking powder milk. I am a dump cook. I put in approx 2 cups flour toss in a couple teaspoons of baking powder you can add some sugar if you like about a tablespoon or so to your taste and add enough milk to get a sticky to smooth paste. If it is too sticky add more flour. Too much flour and your biscuits will be tough and hard. I don't roll mine, I drop them by spoonfuls on a floured cookie sheet. Bake 10 mins or less in a 350 oven

    Amen, I can't figure out those LAYERS! Whoever heard of a homemade biscuit that comes apart in layers, what is it, puff pastry?
