Buttermilk Biscuit Day

Originating in Southern Appalachia in the late 1800s, the buttermilk biscuit is revered in the Southern United States as much as the Croissant is in France.

Celebrated with a food holiday on May 14, this breakfast staple is essentially a quick bread made with baking powder or baking soda as a leavening agent rather than yeast to produce a firm, browned crust and a soft crumbly interior.

Buttermilk gives the biscuit added lift and a robust flavor.
