National Buttermilk Biscuit Day.

National Buttermilk Biscuit Day.

Yes, it’s National Buttermilk Biscuit Day in the U. S. It would have been nice if National Buttermilk Biscuit Day had fallen on the same day as Eat Whatever You Want Day, but you can’t always have everything in life.

For those of you not familiar with a butter milk biscuit you are really missing out on one of the truly decadent breakfast foods. A buttermilk biscuit consists of Flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, butter (lots of butter) and of course, buttermilk. 

What is buttermilk? Buttermilk is basically the liquid that is leftover after churning butter. Ironically, it is  low in fat and contains most of the protein originally in the milk. True buttermilk ferments naturally into a thick, tangy cream. If you’re craving biscuits and don’t have any buttermilk on hand, use regular milk and mix with some lemon juice or some white vinegar. Easy!

Best ways to eat your buttermilk biscuit:

1.      With lots of butter, jam or honey.

2.      Swimming in sausage gravy.

3.      Sandwiching a nice piece of fried chicken. 

4.      Sopping up some red eye gravy.

5.      Dunkin’ in an egg yolk.

6.      With bacon, egg and cheese stuffed inside.

7.      As a base for some Dixie style Eggs Benedict. (Substitute fried green tomatoes for Canadian Bacon and use Vidalia onion gravy in place of Hollandaise sauce) This really will want to make you stand up and slap your mamma!
