Buttermilk Biscuits (Martha Stewart)

Happy New Year!

To ring in 2009 I decided to venture into uncharted waters and make something brand spanking new and made buttermilk biscuits. This recipe was from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook but you can also use this recipe which is nearly identical- just brush the biscuits generously with buttermilk before baking. I don't have a pastry blender so I used forks to mix the dough and eventually grew impatient and used my fingers! And as you can see, I made my biscuits in snowflake shapes. 

These biscuits were very flaky and tasty, I would definitely bake them again! Thanks to everyone's help in 2008, my baking has really come a long way!!!!!!!

New Year's Day brunch!
