Basic biscuit recipe can do either breakfast, fancier dinner bread, or even donuts depending on what fat is used and any other additives.
Basic biscuits -
2 cups AP flour
Not quite 1 cup milk w/ 1 tbl spoon of apple cider vinegar added
1 stick butter
1 tblsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
Mix dry stuff in large bowl. Fork in the butter. Add most of the milk and mix in. Depending on humidity, etc. could use anywhere from 3/4 cup to 1 1/4 cup to get a dough ball of right consistency. Break off biscuit sized pieces, form a ball, squash it a little, put on baking tray. Bake at 450 until golden brown - anywhere from 12 to 17 minutes, again depending on humidity, etc.
To mix it up.... for donuts, add some sugar (2tlbsp or so) and cinnamon and/or some ground ginger or nutmeg, and fry up.
For herbed dinner bread, replace butter with 1/2 cup olive oil, still mix it in, etc. but also throw in some rosemary, thyme, or other similar herbs. Some parm cheese, garlic powder, etc. all work as well.
