You love homemade biscuits. But you never make them. Okay, what's wrong with your biscuits? Are they too hard? Do they not rise? Or do you think it takes too much time to prepare them? This recipe is easy, easy, easy!

An easy 15-minute biscuit recipe is what you need. Don't be afraid to try it. It is hard to make a mistake with these quick and easy biscuits!

You will need the following ingredients.
2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon salt
"Pinch" of baking soda
4 teaspoons of baking powder
4 Tablespoons of oil (I use olive oil)
1 cup of Buttermilk

Here are a couple of explanations for the ingredient list. Pinch. What the heck is that? Take you thumb and first finger. Insert them into the baking soda. Clamp said finger and thumb together. Keeping them clamped, remove fingers from soda container. The amount of soda you still have between your thumb and finger is a "pinch"!

Buttermilk. Most people don't have buttermilk on hand at all times. I don't. This is how to "make" an easy version of buttermilk. Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar to 1 cup of milk. This will sour the milk. You will use it the same as you would buttermilk in this recipe.

Knead. Take ball of dough and press with knuckles or palm of hands. (Do not get carried away with kneading this recipe.)

Let's make biscuits. First I want you to set your oven temperature to 425 degrees. Next, take out a medium to large bowl. Get out your measuring spoons and measuring cups. Take a deep breath! Easy does it!

Pour 1 cup of milk into a small bowl or cup. Add to this, 1-teaspoon of vinegar and 4 Tablespoons of oil. Let this set.

Get out your flour and measure 2 cups into the large bowl. Add the salt, baking soda and baking powder. Take you spoon and mix these dry ingredients together well.

Add the cup of milk with the oil and vinegar to the dry ingredients. Stir it until the dry ingredients and wet ingredients are mixed. Not too much stirring is needed. This will be sticky! Be strong, we're almost done!

Take a SMALL amount of flour and sprinkle on top of the dough in your bowl. This will help you to work with it. Knead your dough about 10 times.

I too have had her biscuits, they are very good. But not as good as her chocolate pie, cakes, and anything else sweet she comes up with! I would trust her recipes!
