FAQs
Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
Yes, but for best results, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and let it sit for 5 minutes to mimic buttermilk’s acidity.
How do I know when the biscuit loaf is fully baked?
The loaf is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean without wet batter attached.
