I finally, FINALLY, unlocked the secret to making  fluffy, southern, buttermilk biscuits! All..😉..it took was another trip to Charleston, dinner at a great restaurant and a bit of digging around on the internet after I got back home.

I knew there had to be a secret (Lord knows I have made my share of buttermilk hockey-pucks) and as I peeled apart, examined and consumed that mouthwatering biscuit at PawPaw’s on Bay Street it hit me..

there’s gotta be YEAST in this!

Sure enough, I discovered that there’s a type of buttermilk biscuit with yeast called an “angel biscuit” and after perusing a few different recipes online, I settled on this easy version by Trisha Yearwood:😃

Sorry about the flour all over the paper.. 2 pkgs of yeast is 4 1/2 tsp-Sorry about the flour all over the paper..

..and sorry that I’m too lazy to type it all out.  You can download your own copy by linking below:

And here is the finished product..By golly-look at those fluffy layers!

As if the number of pictures aren’t already a clue..clearly, I am BEYOND thrilled with these BISCUITS!!!!!!!!

Make sure you:

do the folding part exactly as described,

don’t twist the biscuit cutter as you cut into dough-just down & up motion

and don’t over handle the dough..

ENJOY! 😃
