Fluffy Southern Biscuits
You guys… I know I haven’t updated my site in awhile but I just had to come on and share my biscuit recipe. Obviously we are all spending more time at home so when my kids asked if I could make biscuits I tried a few recipes. I scoured the internet and tried 5 different recipes and this recipe is a mixture of techniques from those. I urge you to find a recipe you like and then memorize it. The freezing of the butter worked great for me, I also do that with pie crust. I hope you enjoy it! And I really hope my kids don’t ask me to make homemade blackberry jam.
