Oh oh I always use the James Beard recipe for biscuits.

2 cups APF, sifted (or just whisked around a bit)
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup butter (shortening or margarine are acceptable substitutes)
1/3-1/2 cup milk, more if making drop biscuits
1 tsp sugar (optional)
add ins (optional)
Preheat oven to 425F

Mix dry ingredients, cut in butter or shortening, if using add-ins (raisins, cheddar cheese, etc) toss in at this stage, then add enough milk until where the dough just clings together. If you want to make drop biscuits add enough milk to the point where the dough is clinging and sticky when mixed.

Either bring together with hands and then cut or drop large spoonfuls onto a lined or greased cookie sheet.

Bake 12-15 minutes or until tops are barely golden.

I accidentally read this too fast as "the James Bond recipe for biscuits."

Fanfic ahoy? ;)

It would make me way more interested in Bond if he secretly had a love of baking delicate pastries, and wasn't just a straight Gary Stu.

He makes them while listening to chamber music.

When coworkers question him about smelling like vanilla he always laughs it off as some fleeting affair with an exotic woman, but secretly he just wishes he could gush about how well his pate a choux turned out last night.

I misread the whole title as Banking and my brain just spent this whole thread awesomely confused.

But a James Bond who loved to bake would be fucking amazing.

(Also Herpy I am stealing your recipe. Biscuuuuuuuuitsssss. ♥)

That looks very similar to the one I was looking for. All the ones online had sugar in them. Ours was in the Five Roses cookbook, I think. One of the oldest/best loved cookbooks Mom has.

Ours were rolled, but I think I'll try these ones. I'll let you know how they turn out!

:D Yay! If you're into SUPER LIGHT biscuits, then try subbing around 3 tbsp. of the flour with cornstarch.

Didn't try the substitution but made them with cheese. I'm quite happy with them! First time baking at the new place, so very excited to make something yummy! Thanks!

Yay! Glad to hear it! :D

I have almost never had that recipe fail me, so I'm happy it worked out well for you.
