13 Recipes for When You Just Need a Biscuit

There are a few universal truths:

  • The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
  • What comes up must come down.
  • Life is better with a bit of butter and flour.

And by butter and flour, we mean biscuits. Whether they're drop biscuits with craggy crooks, covered in gravy, or impossibly tender ones baked all together in a cake pan. Just a person and their biscuit: It's the happiest time there is—especially if the biscuit's still warm from the oven. Here are 13 biscuit recipes worth their weight in butter.

There's a great buttermilk biscuit demonstration in the PBS series "A Chef's Life" (scroll to the 10:00 minute mark and play): http://video.pbs.org/video/2365129788/

Old school: no recipe, just by feel.

Awesome.
