My Favourite Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe

May 21, 2015 /

Buttermilk biscuits are smooth and so delicious. No holiday meal is complete without these in my opinion.

Nothing reminds me of home cooked meals more than Buttermilk Biscuits. My Mom used to make them at holiday time almost every single Christmas. She was a massive bread and biscuit lover. English pudding was her other favourite recipe. I can’t recall a gathering without some kind of scrumptious buns or biscuits actually.

Buttermilk Biscuits

This buttermilk biscuits recipe is similar to one she used to make at holiday time every year. Buttermilk makes everything tastier and creamier and melt in your mouth delicious. While you can sometimes snack on these alone you probably shouldn’t do too much of that. These buttermilk biscuits are meant to be part of your dinner meal.

This Buttermilk Biscuits recipe makes about 1 dozen biscuits and it is pure comfort food. Serve them on their own as a treat or serve them with a really great family meal. I am picturing meat and potatoes with gravy and a side of buttermilk biscuits. Or you can serve them before the meal if you wish. Enjoy!

Happy Holidays

Are you a biscuit loving kind of person? Do you enjoy all the breads and biscuits during the holidays or do you find them sometimes a bit of an afterthought? I won’t judge I promise. Add these to your holiday meal though and I am certain you will get compliments.
