ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
1 1/4 cup buttermilk, cold
directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl. Mix with a fork. Add the butter and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or fork. Cut the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
While mixing, slowly add the buttermilk until the dough starts to come together. The dough should be a little on the dry side.
Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Pat the dough to an even thickness. Do not overwork the dough.
Cut the dough into biscuits using a 2-inch biscuit cutter (or other cutter). Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake at 425 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 3-4 minutes before serving or let cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

Yes be sure your baking powder is fresh or use fresh self rising flour. The liquids must be warm, 135 o F. Gentleness is key, don't over work the dough.
I have the same problem as you. I have tried almost every recipe there is and mine stay the same size as I cut them. I even have tried making them 'thicker' but then I have a hard time getting them baked all the way thru w/o the tops getting too dark. If anyone out there has suggestions or knows why this happens please help us. I have refrigerated the dough and not refrigerated. Barely worked it at all to working it a lot. Made it in a bowl, made it in a food processor... HELP

These were GRREAT tasting but, as usual, I CAN'T GET THEM TO RISE! Every single bisuit I try to make either from scratch or even using bisquick come out FLAT! My kids are now calling my bisuits "Hockey pucks". I have up throwing them at the kids cause they DO eat them and like the taste but they resemble COOKIES!! I tried using less buttermilk, more Baking powder (It IS fresh Baking powder!). WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? I would LOVE to make "high fluffy biscuits".
