Buttermilk biscuits - this is an easy never fail recipe that produces tender, fluffy, "melt in your mouth" biscuits. Perfect for a breakfast sandwich or simply served with butter and honey or jam. They're very versatile and can be easily changed to suit your style. I often toss in cheddar cheese, maybe some bacon, or some spices and herbs to serve with dinner. Give them a try, you won't be sorry!

Chop6665I took the advice to double the butter, but instead did one stick of butter and one stick equivalent of Crisco. I only had wheat flour so I thought I definitely needed to double the sugar as well. Otherwise I followed it exactly and they turned out perfect! Best wheat biscuits ever!
stemjessicaI made this and they were great, can't wait to make them again.
joanettalacountborgundThese were yummy but I've DEF had better biscuits. In a buttermilk biscuit race, these would come in third.
ZenaUBugnHow refreshing 2 find a recipe that turns our the way it should. The only thing I changed was deleted the sugar and added rosemary and cheddar. The consistency is amazing.
