    Oh, that looks NICE!!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Those are good looking biscuits.

    Post recipe please

    Biscuits

    2 cups of all-purpose flour
    1 Tbsp baking powder
    1 Tsp salt
    1/4 Tsp baking soda
    4 Tbsp (1/2 stick) unsalted butter (chilled)
    1 cup buttermilk (chilled)

    Preheat oven to 450F

    1. Mix dry ingredients thoroughly

    2. Cut butter into dry ingredients with a pastry knife until the mixture resembles course crumbs

    3. Add the buttermilk. Mix just until the dough comes together

    4. Turn the dough out on a floured surface, flour the top of the dough, and knead 5-6 times.

    5. Pat the dough out flat, then fold it on itself twice. Repeat this step two more times for a total of three time with six folds.

    6. Pat the dough out once more to about .5 to .75 inch thickness. Cut out the biscuits with a sharp cutter (don't use a glass or anything with a rounded edge), being careful NOT to twist the cutter. Push straight down.

    7. Reform the scraps, press to .5 to .75 inches and cut out more biscuits.

    8. Place biscuits on baking sheet. I like to separate them so they cook and rise evenly. If you place them on the sheet just barely touching they will rise a bit higher where they touch, but the ones on the outside will be lop-sided.

    9. Bake until golden brown. It takes me about 15 minutes or so, but your time will depend on how big you made your biscuits.

    Troubleshooting:

    1 - If they don't rise the way you want, make sure your baking powder is fresh, you used a sharp cutter, and didn't twist the cutter as you cut them out. If after all that, they still didn't rise, try patting the dough out a little thicker.

    2 - If they burn on the bottom before the tops are done, try using an airgap baking sheet.

    Thats it.

    Thanks for the detailed recipe. I don't do the folds, which is probably why I don't get that kind of rise. 

    Bookmarked for the next time I'm jonesing for biscuits.
