National Buttermilk Biscuit Day
There are an infinite number of recipes for biscuits with a plethora of them being buttermilk biscuits. What made the biscuit so popular in the first place? One of the food staples during the 1800s was bread...not as a loner but accompanied with gravy. The combination could be rather sloppy and messy becoming quite difficult to eat hand to mouth. With the biscuit's crispy, tougher outer 'coat', it was perfect to sop up the gravy leaving the plate clean!
