I do try to serve a starch with each meal, and I am a sucker for bread. Biscuits are pretty awesome, too. It took me years to find a recipe that satisfied me. I wanted a biscuit that would rise and split like they do in the restaurants. (The picture below doesn't show my best biscuits...) I've been using this buttermilk biscuit recipe for a couple years now...the thing is, I have never purchased buttermilk. I make it in a jiffy, as seen below. I bet these would be even better with the real thing!
I typically double this recipe so I can have biscuits with dinner and then use the leftovers for an egg and bacon sandwich the next day. They also freeze nicely.
Biscuits
2 1/4 cups Bisquick mix
2/3 cup buttermilk*
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
melted butter for brushing
Mix Bisquick, buttermilk, and
sugar together by hand. Add the melted
butter and stir until a soft dough has formed.
Turn dough onto a well-floured surface.
Add additional flour, if needed.
Knead 20 times.
Pat ½ inch or thicker. Cut using a knife, floured biscuit cutter, or floured drinking glass.
Place close together on parchment paper. Brush tops with melted butter.
Bake at 450° for 8-10 minutes or
until nicely browned. Brush tops again
with butter and serve warm.
* Homemade Buttermilk: To make 2/3 cup buttermilk, place 2 teaspoons of lemon juice or vinegar in liquid measuring cup. Then add milk to the 2/3 cup line.

YUM. I love biscuits! But you already have our whole family hooked on granola bars so I'm a little afraid to touch another of your recipes... :D
