OLD-FASHIONED BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Southerners know their biscuits and we loved these. These homemade buttermilk biscuits are the easiest we've ever made. They are very light and fluffy, almost air-like. As they're baking, the smell is amazing. A big smear of butter and these are melt in your mouth good. Top with your favorite jam. Sausage gravy wouldn't be too...

the amount of buttermilk that is added depends on the brand of flour used and the weather (high humidity requires less). in short, always start with the minimum about, then add more as needed.
