Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a mixing bowl. Using a fork or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles cornmeal. Add the milk, stirring until the dough just comes together to form a ball.
- 2. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface. Gently pat the dough down with your hands and fold it over on itself. Pat the dough down and fold it over once or twice more. Loosely cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for a half hour or so.
- 3. Being careful not to overwork the dough, roll it out until it is 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Cut dough into biscuits using whatever cutter you like. Grandmother used an inverted juice glass, which was really an old preserves jar. For more biscuits, use a smaller glass.
- 4. Place the biscuits on a cookie sheet and bake until uniformly golden brown, 10-14 minutes.

Steps:
- Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and the cubed butter. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles a coarse meal. Stir in the baking powder, salt, sugar and baking soda. Form a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Mix with a fork until all of the ingredients are incorporated and the dough begins to come together into a ball. (The dough will be slightly dry.)
- Dust a clean work surface with flour, coat your palms and rub some on a rolling pin. Turn out the dough onto the work surface. Knead the dough for 1 to 2 minutes, folding it over onto itself each time. Roll out the dough until about 1/2 inch thick. Dip a 3-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a 3-inch-wide glass in flour and then cut out the biscuits. Reshape the leftover dough into a ball, roll it out again and cut out more biscuits. Repeat until the dough is gone.
- Place the biscuits on the baking sheet and bake until the tops are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. While the biscuits are still hot, brush with the melted butter.
- Make the molasses butter: Stir the butter and molasses together to combine. Serve the warm biscuits with the molasses butter.
GRANDMA LOVE'S BISCUITS
I call these Grandma Love's biscuits, but really they came off of the Clabber Girl Baking Powder can, although it is not there anymore. Grandma always served these on Christmas morning or with gravy at Grandpa's request. Twenty years later, they are still my favorite biscuit.
