Recipe Notes
You can also get the same consistency and flavor as that of the cracker barrel biscuits with this Bisquick biscuits version. Make it by replacing the flour with ¼ cup of Bisquick mix to the batter. Stir in the same amount of buttermilk plus a tablespoon of melted butter and a teaspoon of sugar, knead and proceed with the rest of the recipe.
