Homemade Biscuits

• Place 2 cups of the biscuit mix in a bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup of milk or buttermilk. Lightly flour a work surface and scrape the dough out. Knead lightly about 10 times. Pat out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Using a 2-1/2 inch biscuit cutter, cut out 10 biscuits. Re- roll the dough as needed to make 10 biscuits.

  Heat oven to 450 degrees.

  Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
