Chapter Twenty-Four
Southern Spring Morning
Biscuits will forever remind me of my childhood. Hot southern mornings in the spring and summer would always begin with biscuits and a cold glass of iced tea or lemonade. These biscuits transport me right back to those days. And with each flakey, buttery, bite accentuated with hot honey you’ll also be taken back to your favorite memories too.
Buttermilk- It should be noted that not everyone has buttermilk on hand so adding a tablespoon and a half of lemon juice to a cup of milk and leaving it out at room temperature for up to five minutes will do the job just as well! I like to have a cup of buttermilk on hand even though the recipe calls for ¾ cup just because I like to add splashes to the dough in case it’s too dry!
Salted Butter- Most recipes will call for unsalted butter but I prefer a saltier biscuit! In case that's not your jam I would suggest 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter and folding in two tablespoons of salted butter during one of your folds! Both ways make delicious biscuits so it’s all up to you!
Hot Honey- Hot honey is so amazing and especially elevates these buttermilk biscuits. Spicy, sweet, infused with chilis hot honey is a must to make this recipe unforgettable! I use Mike’s Hot Honey and its spectacular but any hot honey should work perfectly!
Biscuits will forever remind me of my childhood. And with each flakey, buttery, bite accentuated with hot honey you’ll also be taken back to your favorite memories too.
