What’s not to love about homemade biscuits. They are one of my favorite indulgences, and I am always coming up with new varieties, including blueberry, cinnamon, feta and spinach cheese, and cheesy beer biscuits
They definitely had more height and the buttermilk flavor came through even more. I’ve only been there 3 times in my life, but the taste of their famous biscuits has stayed forever etched in my memory and taste buds. The recipe that follows does make about 3 dozen, 2-1/2 inch biscuits. 2-1/2 inch biscuits
Measure out buttermilk, and put it in the freezer while preparing the other parts of the recipe. Combine buttermilk and melted butter, and stir with a fork
Stir in the buttermilk with a wooden spoon. Place the biscuits into a greased cast iron pan or if you don’t have one, a round cake pan or casserole dish will do, with the sides of the biscuits just touching
How cool is it that you can find the recipe and story about these biscuits on their web site. I divided the dough and created the biscuits with my ice cream scoop
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk together with the egg, and add this to the flour mixture and stir with a fork until combined, then gently stir in the blueberries
Make a well in the center of the mixture and stir in buttermilk until a soft ball forms. Cut biscuits out with biscuit cutter and transfer to a baking sheet
Adding buttermilk adds yet another level of flavor that just makes you feel good. I grew up on baking powder biscuits, with a delicious lentil soup of course
