The land of BUTTERMILK

I'm new to this blog thing, if you can't tell, so bear with me. I dont think I'm the most exciting person to 'read' but this blog thing sure does beat putting EVERYTHING on Facebook. Like I doubt everyone wants to read how excited I was about my buttermilk biscuits and whatnot and see all the pictures cuz I'm that nerdy and was practically geeking out.

I have never made biscuits from scratch, only the packaged kind. And I LOVE buttermilk biscuits. Like I would go to Hardees and order a plain biscuit for breakfast or go to KFC just to order a box of biscuits and have them eaten before I even got home.  Hell, when I worked at McDonalds I would be sure there were enough biscuits for me to take home and eat- aside from the griddles and occassional chicken nugget it was pretty much the only food i'd eat there.  Naturally I decided that I had to make them myself, so I finally did it!


I was told to use LOTS of flour...

Mmm...buttermilk....

My ghetto biscuit cutter. One of these days, I'll invest in a real one....


don't hate on that hot mess that will be the happiness of biscuits!

My assistant! Ain't he precious!!!!!!!

they look fresh from the box from McD's! Only better....


  I always thought that biscuits would be something 'hard' to make, which is why i waited so long to make them, but it was actually real easy!  I think it was easier to make these than sugar cookies!!!   And they tasted DAMN good! I just wish I wouldve made them thicker... Next time... def next time.

I found the recipe through pinterest on "The Country Couponer"- check it out!


Since I was making buttermilk biscuits, I just had to make buttermilk oven fried chicken!   It had to be oven fried, because I dont pan fry- I'm a chicken when it comes to popping oil, and I didnt want to deal with the mess of my deep fryer.    I pretty much winged it.....  it was DELISH!



This makes me want to cook more, but I dont like the mess it leaves....


Looks like I'll be keeping buttermilk in the fridge from now on....  =)
