Stupid question = Stupid answer
If you're asking for a buttermilk substitute, place one tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar in a one cup measure. Fill to one cup mark with regular milk and let sit for five minutes. Use for buttermilk in any recipe. I don't think plain milk would give the correct flavor to the recipe.
A good place to start is a cookbook at home. Many cookbooks have biscuit recipes. Foodnetwork, YouTube, Betty Crocker, and Kraft always have some great recipes. Sometimes if you have made a basic biscuit recipe, you can include diced or shredded cheese in your mix.
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.
Buttermilk is actually an acid base. (vinegar+milk). If you use them interchangeably you may create an awesome science experiment (baking soda/powder) but not a Yummy cake!

There are many places one can find a recipe for buttermilk pancakes. A great place to start would be online on such cooking websites as Martha Stewart's website, AllRecipes, and Slate. Other alternatives would be cooking books that may be purchased from a local bookstore, such as Barnes & Noble.
The best place to find recipe for baking chocolate is at a local library. There are many cookbooks and magazines that have chocolate recipes and a librarian would be able to help one to find these books.
Yes - if you like to experiment. To be on the safe side, look in your lending library for hundred-year-old recipe books and use one of the recipes that call for buttermilk. It will produce a characteristically mild sourness. You could try substituting yoghurt in place of buttermilk that hasn't been damaged by pasteurisation and added flavours.
There is moisture within the cake batter before it is baked. This comes mostly frow water, but also from milk and eggs and oil. As the cake is baked, the heat rises. This causes the moisture in the cake batter to turn to steam. Steam rises, but there is no place for it to escape. This causes the cake to puff up. Also, when the liquid cake batter cooks into a solid, it does naturally expand slightly, too.
The original Nestlés Toll House cookies (chocolate chip cookies) recipe calls for baking soda, not baking powder. There is no substitute for baking soda or baking powder in a recipe. You have to have it.
No, baking soda cannot replace baking powder in all recipes because baking powder includes a acidic ingredient along with baking soda and certain salts that cause batter or dough to rise. Baking soda is purely alkaline, and requires the addition of some type of acidic ingredient in the recipe to produce the proper rise. Different recipes are formulated for either baking soda or baking powder.I suppose you could, but the recipe will probably taste terrible - and the crust won't rise.
