I never roll dough for biscuits. My grandmother had a biscuit bowl she used every morning. The flour mixture was left in the bowl, she added buttermilk and made dough one biscuit at a time until she had all the biscuits she wanted. She rolled by hand. My kids always say they can't find any biscuits like hers anywhere. I think it's because she had natural yeast in her bowl and used soft flour. It's hard to find soft flour in the stores now.
