Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits

Cultural Context

Flaky buttermilk biscuits are a staple of Southern cuisine in the United States, often served at breakfast or alongside meals. These biscuits, known for their light and flaky texture, are a result of the technique of cutting in cold butter and using buttermilk, which adds richness and flavor. Traditionally enjoyed with gravy or jam, they have gained popularity across the country and are now a beloved comfort food in many households.
