I remember on rainy days after school in high school my older sister, older by 2.5 years and two grades in school, would make biscuits for us to eat as an after school snack. This memory is so infused into my childhood that I can almost taste the sweet and salty combination of warm biscuit, melting butter and preserves if I close my eyes and put myself back into our den {as it was called then} in Stamford, CT.
Of course then it was a quick version whipped up made from Bisquick that was available in our cabinet. She has always been the baker between us – I would try to make brownies but they would always come out rock hard… Savory has always been my thing. But thank goodness she had the baking gene as I got to benefit from it on a regular basis.
So as we approach back-to-school season and the cooler weather, I wanted to try my hand and making homemade buttermilk biscuits that I am sure could never replace the ones my sister made, but perhaps bring me back to the youthful place with butter and jelly falling from my hands with no other care in the world – except homework and the occasional high school girl drama.

Beautiful photography! Yes, you and me are alike in that I prefer savory cooking as opposed to baking too.

Oh wow — homemade biscuits — I could literally make a meal out of them!!
YES Bernie!! That’s pretty much what we did!!
Your biscuits look marvelous.
Thank you Renee!!
It looks like you mastered these buttermilk biscuits! And what a perfect snack right out of the oven with cold butter and jam!
I don’t know if those would last until the kids go home from school, they just might be all gobbled down!!
There’s nothing like a homemade biscuit!
I agree!!
