    Amish Buttermilk Biscuits

    Published: Feb 21, 2013 · Updated: Feb 2, 2021 by Kevin Williams | 4 Comments

    By Kevin Williams, Amish Cook Editor

    We're on a bit of a biscuit blitz today.  Rachel decided to make some homemade biscuits from the Amish Cook's Baking Book the other night, smothered in gravy. It was a good supper! This is a photo of the biscuits Rachel made the other night.  Yum! A very typical looking Amish-style biscuit, not the hockey-puck type you find at KFC or other fast-food outlets.

    By the way, the first restaurant Rachel and I ate in as a married couple was Tudor's Biscuit World.  This is a chain primarily found off interstates highways in West Virginia (we were on our way to a post-wedding visit to South Carolina) but I was quite surprised recently to see one lone franchise closer to us, in Xenia, Ohio. So I guess biscuits will always sort of have a soft spot in this marriage.  Any Tudor's Biscuit World fans among our Amish Cook readership?

     

    Meanwhile, here is the recipe for The Amish Cook's buttermilk biscuits:

      I've got that first printing of "The Amish Cook's Baking Book," and I've crossed out the butter. But that recipe also includes 3/4 teaspoon of salt - I'd think the biscuits would be pretty bland without it. And the recipe above should read 1/4 CUP of vegetable oil.

        Hi, Patty - Veggie sausage is a soy-based "mock sausage." Tastes pretty good to me!:) The brand we used was "Gimme Lean", ground sausage style veggie protein. If memory serves me correctly, you are in northern Indiana...so you would be able to buy this at Meijer or Martin's Super Markets...other similar products are available from the Boca brand or Morningstar Farms...Thanks for checking in! - Kevin
