National Buttermilk Biscuit Day

Buttermilk biscuits are a type of savory bread that is commonly associated with Southern cuisine in the United States. They are made from a mixture of flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, butter, and buttermilk. The dough is typically rolled out and cut into circular shapes, which are then baked until they are golden brown on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. The use of buttermilk is what sets buttermilk biscuits apart from other types of biscuits. Buttermilk is a tangy, acidic dairy product that is made by adding bacteria cultures to milk. The acidity of buttermilk reacts with the baking soda in the recipe, which helps to leaven the biscuits and make them rise. Buttermilk biscuits are a versatile food that can be served in many different ways. They are often eaten as a breakfast food, served with butter and jam, or used as a base for sausage and gravy. They can also be eaten as a side dish with lunch or dinner, or used as a topping for pot pies or casseroles. Buttermilk biscuits have a long history in Southern cuisine and are a beloved comfort food for many people. They are a staple of Southern cooking and are enjoyed by people all over the world.
