Quick butter biscuits. You can hear the butter sizzling! Pull it out of the oven when the top is a nice golden brown. The butter will continue to sizzle for a few minutes until it is eventually absorbed into the biscuits.
Working quickly, using your fingers or a pastry blender, rub or cut butter into flour until it resembles coarse meal.

It's simple, quick and uses ingredients I almost always have on hand. I've heard that the best biscuits are made with a butter/lard combo. However, I don't have access to real, additive-free lard and will not touch the chemical mystery food that is shortening, so. Here I am with the next best thing. For firmer biscuits, turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface and gently knead just to bring the dough together.
