Peacock's palate is sensitive to the metallic back note of flavor in commercial baking powders, so he makes his own for his buttermilk biscuits. It takes practically no time to put together.

These were very easy to make and very good. I will probably make them a bit smaller next time as the biscuit size was very generous; good for a ham sandwich but a lot for a side starch. We froze the left-over biscuits and they toast nicely.
