I grew up in Tennessee and homemade biscuits were something that were weekend regulars at breakfast time. If you grew up in the south too, a good biscuit was probably a part of your childhood memories as well and maybe even if you didn’t grow up in the south! There really isn’t anything quite like a warm biscuit spread with a butter and a little jam or honey fresh out of the oven to start the day. I can’t really think of anything better to add to a brunch menu than homemade biscuits and if you are planning a nice stay at home Mother’s Day brunch, then these biscuits would be just perfect! While it took me years of being adult to actually start making my own biscuits, now that I do I see just how easy it really is and I can’t wait to show you how to do it too. Easy homemade biscuits will have you channeling your inner Ina (or in my case my Great Aunt Blanche) and they will come out perfect every single time.
Growing up in the South, biscuits are considered a breakfast essential in most family households. Still to this day, when I take a bite of a homemade biscuit, I feel a sense of nostalgia and cooking in the kitchen with my mom covered in flour. Because if you are making your biscuits from scratch, you should be covered in flour...it goes with the territory. So when King Arthur Flour asked me to be a part of their Better Biscuit Campaign, how was I supposed to say no? Of course I said yes and debated long and hard about what kind of biscuit I wanted to make you. When it came down to it, I had to go traditional, because to me there is nothing better than a perfectly baked warm biscuit slathered in something yummy. These homemade flaky biscuits with lavender honey butter are going to rock your world in so many ways and I can't wait for you to try them out.
