Biscuit Challenge

This Thanksgiving I watched John's grandma make biscuits. John grew up on these biscuits and likes them better than any others. The problem is that John's grandma knows how to make the biscuits so well that she doesn't need to measure anything. She just knows how to do them the right way. So my challenge will be to try and duplicate them as closely as possible and figure out how we can have her great biscuits even when we're at home. I'm not sure I can come up with a recipe to meet the high standards, but I will do my best.
