Busy Day Biscuit Recipe: A Southern Classic You’ll Love

There’s something magical about a batch of homemade biscuits, especially when they come from a recipe passed down through generations. Southern Living’s feature on this timeless biscuit recipe captures the essence of warm family gatherings and the simple joys of baking.

While you can find the full recipe on Southern Living here, here are a few key tips to help you achieve biscuit perfection:

Key Biscuit Tips:

1. Use Cold Ingredients

   Cold butter and buttermilk is a must for flaky, tender biscuits. As it melts in the oven, it creates steam that lifts the dough into perfect layers. Soft butter would blend too much into the dough, leaving you with dense biscuits.

   Don’t worry, though—we haven’t abandoned our soft butter stance! Once those biscuits are out of the oven, it’s all about soft, spreadable butter—ready for your enjoyment. Luckily with Butterie's easy grip handles you can move your dish to and from the refrigerator. 

2. Don’t Overwork the Dough
   Gently combine your ingredients to avoid tough, chewy biscuits. The less you handle the dough, the fluffier and more delicate your biscuits will be—so be kind to it!
   

3. Bake at High Heat
   A hot oven helps your biscuits rise quickly, giving them a beautifully golden exterior while keeping the inside soft and tender. The key is a quick bake that locks in all that deliciousness!
   

And of course, once your biscuits are ready, pair them with softened butter for a truly Southern experience.

Butterie’s butter dish ensures your butter stays fresh and spreadable, making it easy to enjoy these biscuits just as Grandma intended. Whether slathered with butter, honey, or jam, these biscuits are sure to bring a taste of tradition to your table!
