The Best Little Farmhouse Biscuits and the Giveaway – Farmhouse Week day 5

You have been such wonderful readers this week for Farmhouse Week!  And your comments…how thoughtful they have been!  These posts have been looooooong, but today I have a short and sweet recipe I want to share with you.

These are the best and the easiest little biscuits to make, and they are good with ham and eggs for breakfast or pork tenderloin and vegetables for dinner. They are so buttery tasting; I promise you will not need to butter them when you get them on your plate.  Have I sold you on them yet?  I’ve seen a lot of pins lately on Pinterest for recipes that claim to be the easiest, and they call for 4 ingredients.  Well this 3 ingredient recipe has them beat!

This is all you are going to need:

And this is how they turn out:

Here’s the recipe:

I am assuming you know that “melt in the microwave” means the butter – not the bowl as my literal minded husband would tell me to be more specific about!  (That’s what happens when you marry an engineer.:))   You could make these in the larger muffin pans, or you could try them as drop biscuits on a cookie sheet.  Obviously, the cooking time and temperature would need to be adjusted if you do that.

Yes, that is a jar of Callaway Garden’s muscadine sauce in the photo above!  It is delicious on these biscuits, but let me tell you about that jar.  My dad and I are fighting over it.  You see, the only place you can get it is at Callaway Gardens itself or order it from them online.  I told my mom I needed one jar for a blog post.  She said they were all out of it too and happened to mention it to my dad.  His reply?  Well….I do have one jar hidden away.  You read that right…hidden away.  It is that good, and sadly, I have to return the jar to him. (I only used a little bit, Daddy!)

So remember, today is the last day to enter for tonight’s drawing for the trio of muscadine treats from Callaway Gardens.  You can see all the details at the bottom of the post from Farmhouse Week day 1.

*****giveaway is now closed*****

Here are today’s thought provoking:)questions for you to talk about in the comments…

Do you make biscuits? 

If you do, are you the roll-out-the-dough sort of biscuit maker or a drop-the-dough sort?

I’d love to hear from you, and I’ll be back tomorrow with the winner of the drawing!

Hi Kelly! I waited until the end of the week to respond. I have loved the posts this week! Someday maybe I will get to build a farmhouse, but for now I just settle for adding all the fun elements!

Okay Kelly, these biscuits look delicious. I’m thinking I’ll love you even more if you show up with a big batch one morning. :) Whenever I make biscuits, I always use the Martha White recipe and do drop biscuits. Real butter and buttermilk make all the difference!!

Hi Kelly, I’ve never ever even heard of Muscadine Sause?! Now I really must win so I can try it! Ha, ha :) You know, I haven’t made biscuits in a long time, and when I did I always just used the recipe in my Fannie Farmer cookbook, which were ok. I’m excited, though to try out these! There is a real danger, of course, that I won’t be able to stop eating them and, well, we all know the results of that!!!
Beautiful, summertime post, thanks!

Those biscuits looks so easy and delicious, I can’t wait to try them! I’ve never made biscuits from scratch but just make the “drop” biscuits. Have you ever made the ones like they serve at Red Lobster…garlic biscuits! I think the recipe is on the Bisquick box…it’s been a while since I made them since we are trying to stay away from bread…our weakness!

I’ve loved all your farmhouse posts this week…great job!

I loved you story about your Dad. How dear he is. Reminds me when my boys were little and I would sneak some fritos from a hidden stash – they would smell them on my breath!!
I go the easy route and do the drop method but am definitely going to try your recipe – how can you go wrong with sour cream…..yum.
This has been such a fun week, I really like how you have involved all of your readers with questions and ideas to decorate and now eat.

I’ve never heard of Muscadine sauce…is it a Southern thing? Those biscuits look amazing! My family likes biscuits with sausage patties and mustard, but I’ll confess to enlisting the assistance of a Mr. “Jimmy Dean” for that! ;-)

The biscuits are in the oven as I type. I’ve never had the muscadine sauce either….actually I’ve never been to Callaway either and I’ve lived in GA all my life.

When I do biscuits they are drop style and recipe from the box :)

Hey Kelly,
I make the biscuits that you have posted above, too. My recipe is called Sour Cream Muffins. The only difference is that my recipe calls for 1 1/2 sticks of margarine or butter and 2 cups of self-rising flour. This would be helpful if someone did not have Bisquick in their pantry. And, yes, I make biscuits – perhaps too often! I pat the dough out and cut them with a biscuit cutter. Steve loves Muscadine Preserves from Callaway Gardens. Now I need to get him some Muscadine Sauce!
