Mom's Buttermilk Biscuits


My mom was a great cook and we always had a home cooked meal and ate as a family. Looking back, I don't know how she did it. Work full time, raise 3 kids, AND put a home cooked meal on the table every night! She was Super Woman! With those meals we almost always had my her buttermilk biscuits. She made them from scratch and they were so fluffy and delicious. Unfortunately, I never learned how to make them before she passed away in 2000. She tried to teach us before she died, but I was like 13 so I didn't really get it then. So a couple of years ago I was going through some old stuff in my dad's house and found all of my mom's recipes! (We thought we had lost them in one of the moves.) So I took them without telling anyone, scanned every one of them, and had a cookbook made for my dad, brother, and sister for Christmas. Anyway, one of the recipes is for Mom's Famous Biscuits and I've been trying to perfect the technique since.
