Ann's Tips and Tricks
One cup of cheddar cheese can be mixed into the dry ingredients to make cheese biscuits.
If you don’t have buttermilk on hand you can easily make it from fresh milk. For 1 cup, take 1 cup of regular milk and stir in either 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or 1 3/4 teaspoons of cream of tartar. Let it sit for 10 minutes to curdle before using.
