Biscuit Variations

As a sidenote to the biscuits, you can also make them with buttermilk. I tend to do this when I have two recipes. Neither one uses the full pint of buttermilk (the smallest container you can buy) but they often use the whole pint together. So I just make those two recipes within the same week. (I used the buttermilk in the Junior Wellingtons as well.)  Here are the variations:

Buttermilk Biscuits
Substitute buttermilk or sour milk for the milk. Reduce baking powder to 1 1/2 tsp and add 1/2 tsp baking soda.

Cheese Biscuits
Add 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and bake as directed.
