Beautiful buttermilk biscuits.

Oh, buttermilk biscuits! They must be one of my all-time favorite meals. I mean, sidesā€¦ Their light, fluffy, buttery goodness has had me hooked since childhood.

Ever since cutting out dairy a few years ago, I gave up hope on finding a good buttermilk biscuit. For some reason, fluffy biscuits are pretty impossible for this southern girl to handle dairy-free.Ā But ever since the GAPS diet, my handling of dairy has improved.

So I cheat every now and again most of the time and make myself these luscious beautiesā€¦Ā Full of butter and buttermilk, and topped with a beautiful melting dab of butter.

Arenā€™t they lovely?

Fluffy Buttermilk Biscuits.

Sometimes I seriously wonder if the reason I love them so much is because of that butterā€¦ and the fact that they go perfectly with gravy on top.

If you have problems with dairy, these can be made without it, but they wonā€™t be as fluffy. For dairy-free, the very best option is to replace the butter with lard. If youā€™re kosher, or just donā€™t like lard, try olive oil. Please be forewarned that coconut oil wonā€™t work, sadly.Ā 

Youā€™ll also want to replace the buttermilk with 3/4 cup dairy-free milk (like coconut milk) and 1 tablespoonĀ apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Mix it up and let it sit for a few minutes to curdle. This will also cause you to lose some of the fluffiness, as it will not be as thick as with regular buttermilk.
