CRACKER BARREL OLD COUNTRY STORE BISCUITS
I like these because they are so quick and easy. Even though you use Bisquick, they don't come out tasting like Bisquick or like baking powder. I always have to double the batch to make sure I get some!

- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Mix the Bisquick, buttermilk and sugar together in a bowl.
- Add the melted butter into the batter.
- Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Turn out onto a well floured work surface.
- Knead 20 times (this is a very forgiving dough), and don't be afraid to get additional flour into the dough.
- Roll 1/2 thick, or thicker if you prefer towering biscuits.
- Cut out into 2" rounds (or your preferred size).
- Place close together on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Brush tops with melted butter.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450.
- SIFT (this is important!) together the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
- Cut in the butter and then stir in the milk until the dough comes together.
- Divide the dough in half, and then each half in half again. Continue doing this until you have 32 small, roughly-equal, portions. Roll these into balls. Take two balls at a time and press them together into one disk. (This is what allows the biscuits to separate nicely for buttering!) Don't press them too flat, they should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Keep doing this until you have 16 disks. Place them on a ungreased cookie sheet, sides touching. Brush lightly with beaten egg white.
- Bake 8 - 10 minutes, depending on how dark you like them. 9 minutes works for me.
- When they come out, immediately brush them generously with melted butter.
- Eat some right away! They are SO good fresh from the oven! Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use a combination of all-purpose flour and self-rising flour to create a light and fluffy biscuit.
- Work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This will help to create flaky layers in the biscuits.
- Do not overwork the dough. Overworking will make the biscuits tough.
- Let the dough rest for at least 15 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the dough to relax and make it easier to work with.
- Cut the biscuits out with a sharp cutter. This will help to prevent the biscuits from becoming misshapen.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven until they are golden brown. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
- Serve the biscuits warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.

These Cracker Barrel-like biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make addition to any meal. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
