Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits

So since moving to Indy two things have changed. I now love to bake and now actually enjoy getting up Saturday mornings to cook breakfast (well sometimes).

Fluffy and flaky buttermilk biscuits

But don’t worry I still enjoy John fixing it while I relax and sip my chai tea. I have always loved the Pillsbury Flaky Layers Biscuits. Yes biscuits in a can. Now most people would say aren’t you from the South? Why yes I am and everyone has their shortcuts, this has been mine.

John’s Grandmother and Mom make wonderful biscuits, so they obviously set the bar pretty high. I have attempted it a few times and gave up and retreated back to my biscuits in a can. Well, every so often John would make comments to our friends and family that he can never get me to make biscuits or I don’t like making them. Those words soon turned into a challenge.

Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits

So I got up early poured over my many cookbooks and tried to concoct the perfect homemade biscuit. Well mission accomplished! And even better I made Cranberry Orange Preserves to go along with them. I want so badly to call it Jelly because it sounds better, but after much research because it has the cranberry still in fruit form it is called a Preserve. Now this is a little tart for some people but the pack of punch is perfect for me, but if you want something a little more sweet than tart add some of my homemade apple butter.

 Better than your Grandma's biscuits - these make the perfect Southern breakfast

  • 1-2 teaspoons orange zest

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

  • Using a rubber spatula, fold the buttermilk into the flour mixture.

  • Place on an ungreased cookie sheet about 1/2 inch apart which makes them taller. Bake 12-15 minutes or until light golden brown.

For Cranberry Orange Preserves

  • Combine all ingredients except 1/4 tablespoon of the agave syrup in a small saucepan.
  • Cover and cook over low heat until the cranberries are tender and bursting apart, about 30-40 minutes.
  • Stir frequently to prevent the mixture from browning.
  • Stir in the remaining 1/4 tablespoon of agave syrup. Remove from heat and cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
