Bites of Perfection
A few years back I was on the hunt for the perfect biscuit recipe and I came across this gem. The Original recipe is from a Divas Can Cook. I have made these biscuits a trillion times. Each time I've modified, revised and tweaked the recipe to my liking until I achieved the exact balance that I was looking for. What we have here is a moist and fluffy biscuit with buttery layers and a golden flakey top.
Great Additions
I am a lover of maple, thyme and butter! Combine these amazing ingredients and you have a delightful sweet & savory spread that pairs well with these buttermilk biscuits. Here is the recipe.
These biscuits are also great with jam, honey, sausage gravy, eggs, bacon and so much more!
Happy Baking!
