You'll have to use a baking powder subsitute - something has to make the biscuits rise. There are a variety of options - try googling for a baking powder substitute. Buttermilk biscuits use baking soda instead.

∙ 12y agoCampers often cook biscuits in a 'dutch oven'. This is actually a cooking pot with a heavy lid. The pot is placed in hot coals and more hot coals are placed on top of the lid causing the biscuits inside to be cooked from both sides (which is what baking really is).

because you either have a cruddy recipe or can't cook. put more baking powder in.
Why is baking powder important to a recipe?
If baking powder is called for in a recipe, it is essential. The base and acid components in the powder, when wet, create the air bubbles that cause the dough to rise, making the end product soft and allowing it to cook thoroughly. Without the baking powder or baking soda (see below), the result of baking unleavened dough will be just hot dough or perhaps dough dried hard. If you have no baking powder but have baking soda, you can substitute a combination of baking soda plus an acidic ingredient, such as molasses, buttermilk or yogurt, or even a little citrus juice.
What is a biscuit shooter?

Can you substitute baking baking powder for baking soda?
Yes, but you should only use 1/3 of the amount of baking powder specified, when switching to baking soda. i.e do not substitute on a 1:1 basis. Baking powder is a 1:3 ratio of baking soda to cream of tartar. So although baking soda is not exactly the same as baking powder, it is also far stronger. Your cookies will turn out slightly differently, but using baking soda is better than leaving out both leavening agents, since this will result in really hard cookies. Alternatively, use self-raising flour and miss out baking powder and soda.
What happens if you use baking powder instead of baking soda?
baking powder is baking soda and an acid. Today most baking powder is double acting, which means it rises once when it gets wet and again when it gets hot. The answer to the question depends on what your substituting in. Sometimes baking soda is used to adjust the pH (acid or base level) of a dish. Baking powder won't really help there. If you use the same amount of baking powder instead of baking soda in a cake it will not rise properly. I made two batches of banana bread. One using baking soda, as called for in the recipe. The other only using baking powder (without adding any cream of Tartar). They both had the same rise to them. I was very surprised. However, I think it does depend on what type of result you are trying to achieve. If you have time to experiment, then you should. There's no better teacher than experience. That's what I did.
