Well thats a time, experience and trial and error operation there. There is no specific recipe for home made biscuits. 2 people can use the same recipe and get totally different results.
Buy heres how we do it:
Start off with a good self rising flour( Martha White- White Lilly)
If you have a large Wooden biscuit bowl, Dig yourself a pond in the flour in the bowl about 8" across and 4" or 5" deep.
Put in a hand full of lard,shortening or bacon grease(3/4 cup) depending on how many you want to make.
Pour in a cup or cup and a half ( depends on how many you want to make) of buttermilk or plain milk.
Pull in flour and kneed until you have a good even dough.
DO not overwork the dough. That is what gives you those hard unbreakable biscuits.
Roll them out on a floured cutting board about 1/2 inch thich.
Cut them out.
Put them in a lightly buttered or greased baking sheet.
Put in oven at 350 for about 10 to 12 minutes.
Watch them and don't over cook.
Good luck
anyway, try these:
