Rune's Biscuits

Simple, buttery, Southern style biscuits. I make these for Rune anytime they go out of town so they can have snacks on the road. I personally try not to eat them myself because, Sweet Satan, a whole stick of butter? I'm not ready to die. A note, the original recipe asked for 3/4 cup of milk but I find that's never enough. Use best judgement here.
