No egg for biscuits...
Here is a common and wonderful biscuit recipe
1 cup flour, 1 Tbl. sugar, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1l2 tsp. baking soda, 1/4 tsp. salt. Mix together and cut in 2 Tbs. shortening. Pour in about a 1/4 cup buttermilk, mix, then knead dough and flatten to about a half inch. You may need to sprinkle a little more flour on the dough. I use a drinking glass to cut biscuits to shape and place on a cookie sheet and bake at 400 for about 8-10 minutes. Makes about five. However, I have been using a cultured buttermilk powder instead of buttermilk. I believe it makes flakier biscuits. You can alter the recipe by adding an egg, substitute cooking oil for the shortening, and add about a cup of buttermilk and you have great pancake batter.
