2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp olive oil
about 2/3 or so cup buttermilk
I never actually measure, I just put in oil and milk till it looks about right...after a few times you will know what I mean.
a slight variance from Grandma, she used lard, I use olive oil because its healthier and easier to work with
Put flour in a large mixing bowl, add salt and baking soda, whisk or stir with fork to spread out the salt and soda, level out the ingredients in the bowl., make the volcano hole previously mentioned put in the oil and buttermilk/or whole milk (your preference) mix well (I use a long handled wooden/plastic spoon...stir it it
briskly until all of the flour in in the mix--no dry flour in bowl.
Put new flour on counter top or mixing tray and spread it out then pour out your mix,sprinkle dry flour on the dough ball and knead it until the dry flour is absorbed by the ball, keep doing this and kneading until you can press down lightly and the dough ball appears to expand back out, it should have a bit of a dry and slightly rubbery texture.
You can either pull off pieces and pat out in your hand or if you want to roll, just get a smooth side drinking glass, rub flour on the outside to keep your dough from sticking, use the glass for a rolling pin ( if you want thick ones press or roll the dough to 1/2 thick... for thinner 1/4 inch) and use the opening as a cutter for nice round biscuits.
oil or grease your pan (I line with foil and grease the foil-makes clean up easier) and place the biscuits on it so they just touch each other...take little buttermilk and spread on the tops with your fingers...
Place in oven at 425-450 and bake 15-20 minutes,,,just peek in a couple times and watch the tops, when they are brown to your satisfaction ..they're ready.
I make my own sausage from fresh ground pork and I take a smaller pan , line with foil (easy clean up) put my sausage patties in the pan and bake in oven with the biscuits come out great ...always leave the sausage in 20-25 minutes.
I take mine out with the biscuits as I like my biscuits golden brown...don't like a pale white biscuit....that's just my way.
Takes about 10 minutes from start to oven 20 minutes from oven to table.
Biscuits come out nice and spongy and taste great.
