While not time-consuming to make, these herbed buttermilk biscuits will take your breakfast from good to great. The mix of cake flour and all-purpose flour is crucial in these biscuits. The cake flour makes them light and airy on the inside and the all-purpose flour helps the exterior brown and provides a nice bite. The buttermilk adds a rich, tangy flavor to the biscuits. We opted to cut the biscuits out instead of using a biscuit cutter to prevent rerolling the dough, saving time and preventing potentially tough biscuits. Enjoy these plain or serve them with your favorite jelly, jam, or preserves.
