Note

Family recipe: use 3/4 cup milk instead of water; add the amount of buttermilk powder the package specifies for 3/4 cup prepared buttermilk. The quantity varies by brand. Start with 1 tsp rubbed sage or use 2 tsp for a stronger flavor. This is a Beard-inspired family adaptation rather than the original James Beard recipe. This recipe has not been independently kitchen-tested here. Original Paprika export listed yield as 8–12 biscuits; nutrition estimates are based on 12. For 8 larger biscuits the per-biscuit nutrition will be approximately 1.5 times higher.
