Making buttermilk biscuits for my son, Sam, is a simple pleasure. It makes me happy that I can sort of spoil him by giving him homemade biscuits. Once you start having them from scratch, you just can't go back to the vacuum tube. I hope when he gets older he'll remember sitting in our yellow kitchen eating warm homemade biscuits.
Buttermilk Biscuits from Joy of Cooking

In a large bowl, mix together:
2c flour
2t. baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
Cut 5-6 T unsalter butter into flour until largest pieces are the size of peas
Add all at once:
3/4 c buttermilk
Mix with wooden spoon until dry ingredients are moist. With a floured hand, gather the dough into a ball and knead it gently against the sides and bottom of the bowl. Knead just a bit on flour board and pat dough down gently to 1/2 inch thick. Cut with biscuit cutter and place on baking sheet. Brush Biscuits with milk. Bake until golden brown on top and bottom, 10-12 minutes.

Mmm, lovely. They remind me of my mom's towering buttermilk biscuits. I'd eat the top and bottom first and save the squishy middle for last.
That is a gorgeous biscuit!
I have never seen biscuits so big and fluffy! They look delicious.
Great recipe. First time making biscuit s from scratch and this is a keeper ♥
