Buttermilk Biscuits

Here's a recipe for some of the best tasting biscuits. I wish I could take credit for it, but I can't. It comes from a little place in Halifax, Nova Scotia - called Chives. Before our honeymoon out East, Mike and I happened to be watching an episode of the show Restaurant Makeover, and this restaurant was the focus. We looked it up and decided to visit it on our honeymoon. Too bad they were closed the day we were in Halifax! (No worries - we've always said/thought that we'd return to Halifax when our first kiddo was 5. This restaurant will be on our list of things to do when we return!)

Anyway, we saw these biscuits on the episode, then found the recipe on their website (if I remember correctly). I've made these several times and each time I do, they get ate up in a hurry. They pair well with soup, or even make a great breakfast topped with butter and homemade jam! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
