I've made buttermilk biscuits in the past, but always the store-bought kind from the cans. There is certainly nothing wrong with these, they're quick and easy and taste pretty good, but I figured that now would be the perfect time to try to make these from scratch.

I don't always like making bread because it generally requires lots of kneading and waiting for the dough to rise. This recipe was great because I only had to mix the ingredients, knead for 30 seconds, roll, cut out and bake. It really took only a few minutes longer than popping open a can of ready-made biscuits.

I decided to cut this recipe in half because it said that it made two dozen and we didn't need that many. This was a mistake as the halved recipe barely made eight, very small biscuits.  However they were very light and fluffy and tasted very good. They were much less "chemically"-tasting than the store bought kind.  If I were to make these again I wouldn't cut the recipe in half and I would make them much larger than I did.
