Do you all make baking powder biscuits? They were a staple in my house growing up, and I love them. They're SO easy, and this is the recipe I turn to any time I'm making a pot of soup or something that needs a little bread on the side:
Sift together:
2 cups flour (I use freshly ground white whole wheat)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cut in 1/3 cup butter. (Actually, I don't "cut in" butter anymore. I pulse the dry ingredients in my food processor, then pulse in chunks of butter until pebbly. Transfer to bowl, if you used the food processor.)
Add 3/4 cup milk and stir to moisten.
Roll out dough on floured surface, knead 2-3 times, and use juice glass or biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Or, plop it all on a baking sheet, pat into a rectangle, and use a flat spatula to cut into squares/rectangles/triangles/whatever shape you end up with. (Because really, who cares about having round biscuits?)
Bake for 12 minutes at 450 degrees.

I meant to take a picture before dinner and never got to it. After dinner, this is all that was left! Makes about ten, depending on size.
