TODAY IN KIMBERLEY’s SKY

TODAY IS BUTTERMILK BISCUIT DAY

Buttermilk biscuits are a versatile food that is celebrated today. Biscuits as we think of them now came into being shortly before the Civil War. They were inexpensive, in part because they didn’t require yeast. They were able to expand and rise because their ingredients were beaten vigorously and because they were folded in such a way so that air could be trapped in them. Biscuits also were favored because they could be made quickly and could be easily added to meals. They also caught on because they were better than bread at absorbing gravy.
