Great Bread: Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits
Another installment of the Great Bread series- I know you were all on the edge of your seats. You may be thinking, do biscuits really count as bread, Natalie? In my mind, the answer is yes. I’m not going to go into detail about the difference between bread and biscuits.. maybe I’ll just change the name of the series to Great Carbs.
The occasion for these biscuits was a nice bowl of Edamame Corn Chowder (look for it later this week). We like to have something to accompany our soup around here. I hadn’t made any crusty bread lately, and I was dead tired from a day of baking for Tickled Pink, so I was looking for something quick and satisfying.
I love to find staple recipes like these biscuits!
What’s so great about these biscuits is this: they come together in less than 30 minutes. So many times I’ve wanted something quick to accompany a meal (or I haven’t thought ahead to plan something to accompany a meal) and then I waste time looking for a quick recipe and come up with nothing. These biscuits require little work, and are quite versatile. You can even save extra time by cutting them in squares.
The biscuits have a subtle sweetness from the honey that will work well in savory recipes as well as sweet. Added bonus- each biscuit is only 120 calories! The recipe includes two other variations of the biscuits- spiced pumpkin and parmesan pepper. There’s definitely a lot of freedom with this recipe, and I know I’ll be trying new variations.
