Perfect Buttermilk Biscuits

The kind that Grandma never made.

Flakey buttermilk biscuits are a Southern favorite. If you've been following my blogs, you know I didn't inherit strong cooking genes. My sweet Southern grandmother made biscuits but they were what she called, "Cat Head biscuits" (if you threw them at a cat's head, you'd probably kill it).

Despite her biscuits, I have fond memories of the huge breakfasts she used to make for us. I can still remember waking to the smell of bacon and her giggling in the kitchen! She's the main reason I love to make a big breakfast on the weekends, so I'm dedicating this recipe to her. Thank you, Nanny.
