Soft, flaky biscuits, perfect for any occasion. I add green herbs to give the biscuits a little freshness and color. Apparently I’m on a green kick this week. The great thing about herbed buttermilk biscuits is that you could substitute different herbs if you don’t have parsley and chives on hand. Or you can add herbs that will complement the meal you are serving these with. If you are using herbs for your main dish, whatever they may be, use the same herbs for the biscuits. Two for one! No need to buy a bunch of different herbs. Serve these biscuits for any meal or for a snack. Let me tell you, buttermilk biscuits are perfect with beef stew or minestrone soup. They are terrific with eggs at breakfast. Make some sausage gravy to smother them in. And, of course, they are great for a baby shower. Really! Especially a southern baby shower. So Nikki. Let’s talk for a minute. You’re about to have two kids. I’m obviously an expert on that topic. Oh wait, no…I’m not. I still don’t have a clue what I’m doing. But honestly, you’re going to do great. I just know you’re going to handle it with a smile on your face just like I’ve seen you do with everything else. Number one tip? Enjoy the baby snuggles–mine are already starting to get more scarce. Time goes too fast. Enjoy every minute! Love ya girl! Can’t wait to “meet” the little man. xo PS: Whip up a batch of beef stew seasoning mix and homemade beef stew — you won’t be sorry! You can even make beef stew in your slow cooker. Looking for a healthier alternative to these biscuits? Try whole wheat biscuits with cornmeal and cheddar. PPS: I have these biscuit cutters and I LOVE them! There’s even a mini size to make tiny biscuits that would be adorable for a shower or parties. Or to control calories, ha!
Make ahead tip
Prepare the biscuits but don’t bake them. Freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, place the biscuits in freezer safe wrapping. Freeze for up to 2 months. To bake, preheat the oven to 425°F. Arrange the frozen biscuits on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, depending on the size of the biscuits.
