FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Yes you will want to use buttermilk for this recipe. If you do not have buttermilk you can make your own at home. However, I will always say that the best biscuits are made with REAL buttermilk. To make it for this recipe, pour 3/4 cups of regular milk into a measuring cup and add 3/4 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice and stir. Let this sit for 5-10 minutes, stir again and then you can use.
How do you get those nice tall biscuits?
The one tip every southern grandmother will tell you is to never twist your biscuit cutter when you are cutting out your biscuits. Just push down and pull up. When you twist the biscuit cutter, you are sealing the biscuit edges closed and it will be unable to rise as it bakes. So no twisting!
How do I store leftover biscuits?
These will keep on the countertop in an airtight container for up to 2 days. You can heat them up in the microwave for 15-30 seconds before enjoying them again. These can also be frozen, place cooled biscuits in a freezer container and they will last for up to 2-3 months. To thaw remove from freezer and place on the countertop, again reheat them in the microwave before serving.
Do I have to use cheddar cheese?
