Description
These golden buttermilk biscuits are the heart of Southern kitchens. Lightly crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside—they’re perfect for honey, gravy, or memories of Grandma’s table.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¾ cup cold buttermilk
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in buttermilk and stir until just combined.
- Knead gently on a floured surface. Fold dough 3 times for flaky layers.
- Cut biscuits using a round cutter. Do not twist.
- Place on sheet and bake 20–25 minutes until golden.
- Optional: Brush with honey butter before serving.
Notes
- Freeze your butter for ultra-flaky results.
- Avoid overmixing—less is more when it comes to tender biscuits.

The Story Behind the Blog: When Recipes Become Memories
I discovered A Charmed Life Recipe Blog during a season of grief. My grandmother had just passed, and I was craving something—anything—that could make me feel close to her again. That search led me to a blog post titled “Grandma Pearl’s Chicken Pot Pie.”
The words felt like home.
The author’s memories echoed my own: weathered recipe cards, the clink of Pyrex bowls, and the unmistakable smell of something good baking in the oven.
It wasn’t just a recipe—it was a legacy.
This blog reminded me that food can be a bridge between generations. And that’s what makes it more than just a cooking site—it’s a digital hearth.
