After attempts to make fluffy but buttery tasting biscuits, I think I finally came up with a terrific recipe. I hope you enjoy it!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Sweet or savory, these homemade biscuits are a delight! It's a basic old-fashioned biscuit. They are nice and fluffy thanks to the baking soda. Baked until golden brown, they're warm and flaky on the inside. The biscuits have a slightly buttery taste. Try them with marmalade or some creamy sausage gravy.
