Hi Brenda! I am not sure if this fits as quick as you want bill but these are some mighty good biscuits!! I copied the recipe from a site a few months ago and tried it when eggy made me hungry for sausage and biscuits..hee hee...It is terrific!! If you want really quick..I think Bisquick makes a decent and fluffy biscuit! Use the rolled biscuit recipe though...much lighter and fluffier than the drop ones! Hope this helps!

Southern Buttermilk Biscuits
2 c. all-purpose flour
4 tsps. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. Crisco vegetable shortening
1 c. buttermilk
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the shortening and cut it in with a pastry cutter or two knives till the mixture is well blended and mealy. Add the buttermilk and mix with a large spoon till the dough is soft, adding a little more buttermilk if necessary.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and, using a light touch, turn the edges of the dough toward the middle, pressing with your hands. Press the dough out to a 1/4-inch thickness, cut straight down into even rounds with a biscuit cutter or small juice glass, and place the rounds 1/2 inch apart on a large baking sheet. Gather up the scraps of dough and repeat the procedure. Bake the biscuits just till lightly browned on top, about 12 minutes. Makes about 16 biscuits.
