Homemade Biscuit

• 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons and 1-1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
TO MAKE BUTTERMILK BISCUITS:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease two baking sheets, or line the sheets with parchment paper. Combine ~1.25 cups biscuit mix, 1/3 cup buttermilk, and a pinch of salt (optional). Stir together to form a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, about 10 times. Cut dough into 6 equal pieces and place on prepared baking sheets. Brush tops of biscuits with milk or egg wash, if desired. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown.

How to make buttermilk:
1/3 cup milk, 1 tsp vinegar or lemon juice. Let sit for 2-3 minutes.

This was a very simple, quick, cheap, and *tasty* recipe! The biscuits were very flavorful (we didn't even brush the top of the biscuits with milk or egg wash, whatever the hell that is). We used the recipe for Biscuits and Gravy, but I think that these could just as easily serve as dinner biscuits.

Go forth and make home-made food from near-scratch!
