Directions
Carolina Buttermilk Biscuits (And/Or Southern Shortcake),There is nothing better then the smell of Southern biscuits baking in the kitchen. When they hit the table piping hot they are sure to disappear as quickly as they appeared. This recipe makes an excellent base for Strawberry Shortcake! Just increase the sugar to 2 Tablespoons (optional) and whip up some cream with a dash of vanilla extract and slice some fresh strawberries…. and Enjoy!,Goodbye to cardboard tubes of biscuit dough! My former attempts at homemade biscuits came out as nice-looking golden brown hockey pucks! Carolina’s biscuits came out perfect! Easy to mix together. I even tried to look like my mother used to, in her kitchen when I was young..used my hands to mix, threw the dough onto my floured surface to knead it and used a mason jar as my cutter. The egg addition is what I think made it a bit dense, yet fluffy – and flavored like an egg bread. So I can see how it would make awesome shortcakes or dumplings. I liked it! Thanks for sharing.
