When
you wake up in the morning and you start to yawn… that means it is time to make
some breakfast and get yourself ready for the day. With breakfast comes the
needed energy and nutrition to help power through the day until your next big
meal. That is unless you are making breakfast in bed for either yourself or
someone else and if that is the case, well then you need to check out these buttermilk
biscuits that will surely set the day off on the right foot.
Light
and fluffy, not dense and dry is our theory when it comes to making biscuits
and this simple, tried and true recipe produces just what the Doctor ordered
when it comes to having a little something, something to sop up your morning
gravy with.
Remember
to not over work the dough when rolling it out, or that will surely result in
dry, heavy, disgusting biscuits.
After
the biscuits come out of the oven, we like to slice em open with a fork (that
helps to create nooks and crannies) and slather a bit of Guava Jelly &
Butter inside to help give the rest of the meal some extra kick.
Enjoy!
