Pretty biscuits. There's a expiration.date on.milk on the bottle.*******

There’s nothing quite like a flaky, buttermilk biscuit paired with jam, honey, maple syrup, or butter to send your taste buds into overdrive. What better way to celebrate a long-standing Southern tradition than by commemorating National Buttermilk Biscuit Day on May 14? These flakey, carby treats emerged in the pre-Civil War era as an inexpensive addition to meals. When people realized these robust bread products absorbed the gravy on their plates better than plain bread, biscuits soared in popularity and the version that we all know and love — the buttermilk biscuit — was born. From celebrating at your favorite restaurant to whipping up a gourmet batch at home, there are ample ways one can pay homage to this Southern staple.

It's an expanded recipe because I wanted to get to the 11 or 12 biscuits that pan can hold, so measurements are...you know. Not real precise.

3 cups of flour (base recipe was 2, so this was the easy part of the extrapolation)
1 TBS salt
1 TBS sugar
1.5 TBS baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda

whisk all them up real nice

Cut in 1.5 sticks of COLD butter to around pea-size, and, full disclosure, I probably wouldn't mess with making biscuits without a pastry blender or cutter or whatever it's called.

You can do it by hand, but that sounds painful, or with a food processor, which is even more dirty dishes, so...your call.

Add in a cup plus an ounce or two of COLD buttermilk (this is one of the imprecise parts), work into a dough; should be a wee bit sticky, but not so much that you can't reasonably extricate your hands from the dough--may take a few iterations to find that zone.

Turn out dough on counter, fold a few times, and knead to around 5/8" thick, cut, repeat; I spoon a little buttermilk on top and sprinkle a lil bit of sugar on them because it caramelizes; 425 for 19 minutes is the sweet spot in my countertop oven; others will vary.
