Buttermilk Biscuits

I had ham and scalloped potatoes (recipe to come) on the menu last night so I decided to make some yummy biscuits to go with it. I searched for recipes similar to cracker barrel biscuits (even though I've never had them before) and found this one. I changed it a bit, adding some whole wheat flour, and they were delicious. Sorry that the pictures are all sideways and that I didn't get pictures of all the steps - I am out of the swing of things, I guess!
