Buttermilk Biscuits
"These biscuits are made from a recipe that's been in our family for years. They're simple to make and smell so good when baking! The wonderful aroma takes me back to those days when Mom made this meal—it's like I'm there in our family's kitchen again, with her busy at the stove."

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

Reviews
TToo dry and didn't rise well.
These tasted great and may family loved them. We ate them with sausage gravy. They aren't as light and fluffy as other biscuits that I have made.
taste of home have the best homemade buttermilk biscuits
These were tasty biscuits! Part way through baking, I brushed a mixture of melted butter, parsley flakes, garlic powder, salt, and parmesan cheese on top. Delicious. I will definitely be making these again.
My husband and I loved them the only issue was browned on one side not both
I have the original Reminisce magazine recipe from 1992 and it is somewhat different from this webpage. The original recipe does NOT have sugar. It also asks for 2 tsps baking powder. Have not made these yet, but will follow the magazine version when I do.
These biscuits were awful! They had such a bland taste and I hardly got a dozen out of this recipe let alone 1 1/2 dozen. And they were nowhere near as thick as the photo shows. Never making these again.
Simple to make and quite tasty. My 4 and 8 year old loved them.
I make these with sausage gravey. They are a favorite in my family. Shawn, Manchester, Mi
I love the flaky texture of these biscuits. I brushed the tops of mine with real butter and put honey on them. I think they were really good!
