Here is another version of my buttermilk biscuits. These are so soft, buttery and baked to golden brown perfection, it is hard to decide which version I like best. These biscuits are great with anything but my favorite way to eat them is with my homemade blueberry sauce. I have linked my blueberry sauce recipe below.

Helpful tips and tricks
The dough for the biscuits can also be made in the food processor: Add the dry ingredients and pulse a few times until combined. Add the buttermilk and egg and pulse just until the dough comes together. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and cut out the biscuits.
You don’t even need a biscuit cutter to make these. Just pat down the dough with your hands and using a sharp knife cut out the biscuits in squares, just like if you were cutting brownies. Transfer the biscuits to a baking sheet and bake accordingly. Rustic and beautiful!
