If you get any of the "self-rising" flour, they all have a fairly good biscuit recipe on the package. I use Gold Medal self-rising. The real secret to making biscuits is not to overwork the dough. Just mix it up, fold it over a couple of times and then roll it out and cut it. If you overwork it, they will turn out hard.
If you really want fairly good biscuits quickly, Pillsbury has some great frozen biscuits. I buy those and keep them in the freezer. I like biscuits and my hubby doesn't, so I'll use the frozen ones and only back two or three biscuits at a time.
