Hate to say this but you really can't go wrong with good old Bisquick or a
similar baking mix. Honestly, there isn't any difference and why bother
with all those ingredients when you might wind up with a bunch of
cookie-cutter hocky pucks?

If you must go with homemade, try this one:

1/2 cup shortening (Crisco)
2 c. flour
1 Tbs. sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
3/4 c. buttermilk

Preaheat oven to 450F. Combine dry ingredients. Cut shortening into flour
mixture until it resembles fine crumbs. Stir in buttermilk slowly until the
dough leaves the sides of the bowl (it will be sticky).

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured board. Knead lightly. Roll or pat
out to 1 inch thick. Cut with a floured glass into 3 inch rounds (wanna get
fancy? use a cookie cutter.) Place rounds on an ungreased baking sheet
about 1 inch apart if you want crusty sides or touching together if you want
soft sides. Makes no difference to me. Bake at 450 until golden brown,
about 10 minutes. Makes a dozen biscuits.
