The search for the best homemade buttermilk biscuits is over! Follow my tips and tricks to perfect biscuits, every time. These are so fluffy and fully of buttery flavor, you’ll want to eat them with everything!

I’ve been messing around and tweaking this recipe for my homemade buttermilk biscuits for literally years, and I think I’m finally done!

These biscuits are really wonderful. They are simple to make, bake up really fluffy and tall, and are just begging to be slathered in butter. Or jam. Or honey. Or gravy.

I’m no Southern girl, but I think these taste like the came straight out of “Grammy’s Kitchen!”

There’s a few tips that will help you out, and I’ve detailed them out below.

What You Need:

If you want to do it by hand, you’ll need a [easyazon_link identifier=”B01HTYH8YA” locale=”US” tag=”gogogogo03-20″]big mixing bowl[/easyazon_link], [easyazon_link identifier=”B01CX1RIMQ” locale=”US” tag=”gogogogo03-20″]pastry cutter[/easyazon_link], and [easyazon_link identifier=”B008H2JLPS” locale=”US” tag=”gogogogo03-20″]wooden spoon[/easyazon_link].

Tips and Tricks:

Here’s a few tips and tricks I’ve picked up through the recipe testing process:

I actually really strongly recommend the [easyazon_link identifier=”B005QQ1MB4″ locale=”US” tag=”gogogogo03-20″]White Lily Flour[/easyazon_link]. Now, I don’t specify a lot of brands in my recipes, but you need to skedaddle down to the store and buy a bag of this flour for biscuits. I don’t know what kind of witchcraft magic is going on in this bag, but it was the ingredient I needed to push my biscuits over the top.
Don’t over work the dough, it makes your biscuits tough.
Work quickly, so your butter stays cold.
I know there are substitutes for buttermilk, and yes- I’ve used them for this recipe. But using real deal buttermilk is where it’s AT. In a pinch, yes. But do yourself a favor and just grab a quart of it when you get your White Lily Flour.
