Edna Lewis and Scott Peacock's Angel Biscuits (The Gift of Southern Cooking) are my favorite. The recipe calls for yeast as well as baking powder, there's a nice rise, and they have good buttermilk flavor. It makes a lot of dough, but it can be refrigerated for a week, and you just pinch off what you need. My mother told me they are also called Bride's Biscuits--a no-fail recipe for new cooks.
