Tips to Make Melt In Your Mouth Buttermilk Biscuits

Make sure your butter is really cold for the flakiest biscuits.
Don’t overmix the dough; mix just until it comes together.
If you want extra flavor, try adding herbs like rosemary or chives to the dough.

Variation

You can add shredded cheese or cooked bacon bits to the dough for a savory twist. For a sweet version, try adding a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.

FAQs

Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
Yes! If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the dough in advance. Just cut out the biscuits and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer to a bag and bake from frozen when you’re ready.
What should I do if my dough seems too dry?
If the dough feels too dry, add a little more buttermilk, one tablespoon at a time, until it comes together. Just be careful not to add too much!

Enjoy these delightful biscuits at your next meal, and watch as they become a family favorite!
