Featherweight Buttermilk Biscuits
As far as I’m concerned Martha Stewart is one of the best bakers I have ever seen. Her techniques and skills are an art form and the finished products are flawless. This is a simple recipe for southern-style buttermilk biscuits that she makes look effortless. Hats off to Martha not just for this recipe but for revolutionizing the food and catering industry.
