It’s National Buttermilk Biscuit day!
Cover it with butter. Smother it with gravy. Serve it on the side with some Chicken Pot Pie. Here’s some interesting things you may or may not know about this delicious bread item:
- Biscuits are made using baking powder or baking soda as a leavening agent rather than yeast
- A typical buttermilk biscuit recipe contains flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, butter, and buttermilk.
- Before the American Civil War, biscuits emerged as an inexpensive addition to meals.
- Alexander P. Ashbourne patented the first biscuit cutter in 1875
- In 1931, Ballard and Ballard patented refrigerator biscuits.
