I can eat Buttermilk Biscuits at any time. I love the flavor, the texture, and how well they go with everything! I’ve made buttermilk biscuits to go along with sausage gravy, chili, jams, breakfast sandwiches and lots more. They are so versatile because you can make them the old fashioned way with buttermilk, add herbs in for a savory biscuit or even something sweet and it’s just as delicious! If you like a good flaky buttermilk biscuit then you’re sure to love this recipe…enjoy!
