I always just make the old baking powder type biscuits, that are found in most cook books, I have found they are easy and always turn out good. If you don't have the recipe or no one else responds I'll look through my recipes, as I know I have a couple of other different ones.

1 cup buttermilk 4 cups flour 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 1 pkg dry yeast 1/2 cup warm water (105-115 degrees) 5 T shortening 2 T sugar 2 T butter or margarine (melted)
Heat buttermilk in a small pan until bubbles form around edge, careful not to overheat as buttermilk will curdle. Cool to lukewarm. While milk is cooling, sprinkle yeast over warm water in a small bowl. Add sugar to yeast mixture. Stir in lukewarm buttermilk. Into a large bowl sift flour with baking powder and salt. Cut shortening into flour mix, until like coarse cornmeal. Make a well in the flour mix & pour in buttermilk/yeast mixture all at once. Stir with wooden spoon to mix well. Dough will be stiff. Knead as for bread until smooth. Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with floured 2" cutter (or a glass will work). Place 1" apart on greased cookie sheet. Cover with towel & let rise in warm place until double. Brush tops with butter. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Well the Mom's Red Lobster Biscuits sound very interesting, I'll keep this recipe to try sometime. And now that the weather is getting colder, I will probable turn the oven on and make a few things, since I'll probable be board..sigh I would take digging in the dirt before cooking and baking, But since I won't be able to dig in the dirt, I guess baking, eating and puttin on that winter fat will have to do.

I use sour cream instead of milk in my biscuits...it makes them a bit more moist and yummy!
