On low speed, gradually add the buttermilk and mix until a dough is formed.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured board and gently knead 8 times.
Pat or roll out the dough to 1-inch thick, and use a biscuit or cookie cutter to cut the biscuits (re-gathering and re-rolling as necessary to use up the dough).
