Favorite Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits image

My great aunt taught me how to make the best homemade buttermilk biscuits. I would stand and watch her make them everyday when I was a little girl. She made a batch everyday and I would have at least two with my dinner. There's nothing better than having a good tomato biscuit later or even as a snack. She had a special way of making them and everyone always looked forward to her biscuits.
