Buttermilk Biscuits
Second Easter day, yes, here in Holland we celebrate this holiday for two days, so I decided to do an American style breakfast for the family. I love the breakfasts they serve in the South so I made sausage patties, bacon, scrambled eggs and biscuits. I also tried to make gravy, to go with the biscuits, but failed completely on that one :-). Since most of the things I made from Dorie Greenspan's, Baking, from my house to yours turned out very well I used her Basic Biscuit recipe, in the book she gives little pointers on variations, for this one it's Buttermilk Biscuits which you get by replacing the milk by buttermilk and the addition of 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. I used my food processor for this recipe, since I didn't want to overwork the dough and a food processor does a great job here. The biscuits turned out fabulous, high and flaky, just like the ones we got in those little mom 'n' pop places in the South! Basic Biscuits Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour...
