These are
party-sized biscuits, but they are good with a meal too. For one or two people, make a quarter-sized
recipe – these are fast and delicious.
No rolling, quick-baking because they are smaller, and delicious. Double the recipe, pulse all but the
buttermilk together in your food processor, stir in the buttermilk by hand, and
portion out a big pan and bake for a bigger crowd. These
are nice served with a sliver of ham or prosciutto on a warm platter on a
buffet.
