Easy buttermilk biscuits
Homemade biscuits are perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner! I often like to eat my biscuits plain, but they are also delicious topped with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey.
These are the most amazing biscuits. And they aren't rolled out or made into a drop biscuit. Nope, they are baked in a large baking dish and then sliced up like a cake. They are absolutely delicious!
These pan biscuits are easy to whip together by hand and then the batter is dumped into a baking dish. It really couldn't be any easier!
I use these easy homemade biscuits when making biscuits and gravy and they can be served fresh out of the oven or at room temperature. We also like to eat these biscuits with homemade honey butter!
Buttermilk is a main ingredient, but sometimes you might not have it on hand. Read how to make homemade buttermilk for an easy-to-make substitute.
