    Correct salt is 2 teaspoons; this was easy and delicious. I made as directed except short 1/4 cup buttermilk and subbed cream. Used cast iron.

    A favorite for when I'm too damn drowsy to be cutting anything out

    Was so intrigued by the recipe that I had to try it out. Each step felt like it couldn't possibly turn out, but the resulting biscuits had crispy exteriors and fluffy interiors. Seemed a bit like magic.
