Jami's "smart" Buttermilk Biscuits

Submitted by TheBlueJeanChef

"Who doesn't LOVE a fresh, hot homemade biscut? But we can all agree they are not the most nutritious option out there. These biscuts will help that out just a bit. They are fluffy, buttery and OH so good. You will be surprised at just how easy they are to make. I would love to hear your feed back."
