Buttery Buttermilk Biscuits - Easy Recipes for Family Time - Seeded At The Table (2024)

Rarely do I complain on the blog about my new living situation here in Mississippi. I'm not even sure I have shared much about it with you. Here's the long story made short: We owned a newer 2,600 square foot home in California, located in a safe cookie cutter neighborhood. The house had a large kitchen, walk-in pantry, island, etc, then we sold it at a loss when we moved to Mississippi. In order to be able to save money and recover from that loss, we are now temporarily renting a 1300 square foot townhome, that is owned by the seminary where Ben teaches. The location isn't very appealing since on one side of the street you have to watch out for pot holes and the other side be aware of bullet holes. And, I have the tiniest kitchen ever.

I'm not telling you this to complain about it, because it has been a surprisingly pleasant experience and such a blessing. I forgot how nice it is to pay cheap rent. I also forgot how nice it is to live in a neighborhood with such great community! We are outside everyday playing with the seminary students' kids, and I've made invaluable friendships with their moms. So, no complaints (to share with you, at least) 😉 on the living situation...

...up until a few weeks ago, when I checked out the local farmers market.

I found out that our town has a farmers market, and we went. Downtown Clinton is actually very cute and kind of college town-ish, so we really enjoyed just the atmosphere of walking around the store fronts. After our enjoyable day, guess what I found out? The farmers market is only once per month. 🙁 What a tease! That is my complaint.

At my one time visit to the once-a-month farmers market, we bought some locally produced honey. I actually don't like honey. I'll eat it mixed into recipes, but not by itself or drizzled and spread on biscuits, toast, etc. Bleh. I keep trying it, and it gets me every time. But, since the hubs loves it, I promised him I would make some fluffy buttermilk biscuits to accompany his honey.

Everyone has their preference on biscuits. Some like them flat, some like them 10 feet tall (okay, a bit of an exaggeration) and some like them just from a refrigerated can. This recipe is the favorite in our household, where the biscuit just crumbles on the outside yet somehow holds together from the fluffiness of the inside. They are completely buttery and so light and flaky, which just makes them unparalleled to any other recipe I've tried. My only complaint here is they disappear too quickly!
