Directions
Southern Buttermilk Biscuits, These buttermilk biscuits are authentic This recipe came from my great-great-grandmother, and was handed down to all the women in my family, and we are all Southern I am the first one to commit the sin of using a food processor (lol) but I find it works very well I would put these biscuits up against anyone’s – they are perfect in every single way I hope you all enjoy them , Can I make a double batch and refrigerate half the dough for tomorrow Or are the biscuits good next day?, Can I make these if I live north of the Mason-Dixon line?
