Recipe time! This week, I took some time to do a little baking and what better thing to try than the latest obsession I have with Popeyes Buttermilk Biscuits.

There's nothing like tender, fluffy biscuits like these, fresh out of an oven, piping hot and served immediately with butter, honey or jam.



Easy and quick to make, these buttermilk biscuits are completely satisfying as a side dish in any meal of your day, though with my love for these, an entire meal can be made out of them.

There is something quite magical about gently breaking apart a freshly baked biscuit, watch the steam float out the middle and then sinking in to the warm, yummy goodness of there buttery, flaky bits.

Anyway, enough of the tempting thoughts. Let's dive right in.

The Recipe
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 (~64g) cup unsalted butter, cold
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup milk
Melted butter, to brush on top

Step by Step Instructions
1) Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
2) Mix together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
3) Slice cold butter into cubes and use a pastry knife or spoon to cut butter into dry mixture until no large chunks of butter remain.
4) Add buttermilk and milk and stir till it's mixed.
5) Form little balls of the dough (about size of golfball) and arrange on a lightly-greased baking sheet/aluminum foil.
6) Bake for 15-20 minutes or until tops begin to turn light brown.
7) Remove biscuits from the oven and cool for a couple of minutes, then brush each biscuit top with melted butter.
