These Featherweight Buttermilk Biscuits live up to their name with a delicately light, fluffy texture and rich buttery flavor. The secret to their airy quality lies in the combination of flour and cornstarch, plus the perfect amount of chilled buttermilk for tenderness. Quick to prepare and ready in just 12 minutes of baking time, these golden biscuits rise beautifully and make an ideal accompaniment to soups, stews, or simply enjoyed warm with honey or jam.
