About the Holiday

National Buttermilk Biscuit Day celebrates this flaky round delicious bread. Biscuits differ from other breads because they are made with baking powder or baking soda instead of yeast. Typical ingredients used to make biscuits are flour, baking powder, baking soda, buttermilk, sugar, shortening and salt. The word biscuit in the United Kingdom refers to a cookie.

Things typically eaten with a biscuit include butter, honey, sausage gravy, jam or jelly, egg/meat/cheese, with a BBQ meal, or sometimes cooked on a chicken casserole.
