INGREDIENTS
2 cups GRANDPA’S BISCUIT MIX (shown below)
2/3 cu buttermilk
OPT: 1/4 C shredded Cheddar cheese
Splash more milk ONLY if it doesn’t come together when you knead in Step 3. If it’s too wet, add a bit more biscuit mix or use dried milk.
DON’T OVER-MIX OR YOUR BISCUITS WILL BE TOUGH
STEP BY STEP

- Turn out on a floured surface.
- Turn over onto itself 8 times to create layers
- Roll or pat to ½ inch thickness.
