Buttermilk Biscuits

Jump to recipe

I hope everyone is having a wonderful spring, and Happy May!  I had to step away for a few weeks, and am looking forward to catching up!

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.  The possibilities are endless.  But, back to the reason for this post….buttermilk biscuits.  I first shared these 2 years ago, and just had to share them again. 😀  They are the perfect flaky, salty, and buttery accompaniment to any breakfast food.  We love them with honey butter, honey, nut butters, and molasses…yes, molasses!  When my husband’s grandmother was little, her mother would poke a hole inside the biscuit and pour molasses into it.  It was the perfect way to play and have dessert at the same time.  I used to love hearing her tell this story, and the taste even more.  There are different types of molasses, resulting from the boiling process of sugar cane, so pick your favorite!  I like blackstrap molasses, because it is very high in potassium, iron, and calcium.  It is very unique to have a sweetener containing actual nutrition.  The taste is very intense though.  You can also try them with homemade honey butter (see below), which is super easy to make.

I hope you enjoy these biscuits as much as we do.  They are not difficult to make, and can be made from start to finish in around 40 minutes.

    Sounds wonderful, Antonia. I’ve been making your garlic knots a lot lately – they’re the perfect little side for all the salads we’re trying to eat here (in prep for summer). I like it that the biscuits can be made in advance and that they freeze well. Thanks for another great recipe. 🙂

    So good to hear from you Antonia! I’ve been taking a bit of a break from blogging myself the past month. You make these biscuits sound easy to make, especially for someone who’s never made biscuits before (can you believe that)?! And the idea of molasses sounds wonderfully rich and delicious!
