Basic Biscuits

We all love biscuits.  Especially because they are so quick to make.  Because I am lazy, I don't make lovely rolled and cut biscuits. I make drop biscuits.  They may not look quite as pretty, but they taste great at really, take like 20 minutes, start to finish. That is my kind of recipe. 

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 
  
• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• until dough is soft, moist and pulls away from the side of the bowl.
