Of all the things you can make with some flour I think buttermilk biscuits give by far the most bang for your buck. You will need some buttermilk as well, but in the end the flavor and joy these little biscuits bring is far greater than the cost of their ingredients.

I am a big fan of making your own whenever you can and so when I saw that people were adding sage to their biscuits you know I had to try it. Well, the results are in and they are even tastier than I had imagined!

Like any good buttermilk biscuit these have flour, butter, and buttermilk in them. If you don’t have any buttermilk you can make a convincing substitute by adding one spoonful of white vinegar to a cup of milk- whole milk if you have it.

These wonderful biscuits also have just a little bit of cream cheese in them as well. This adds to the richness and the tender texture of these flaky biscuits.

The real star of the show, though, is the chopped, fresh sage leaves that you mix into the dough. Sage is a very strong flavor, but when combined with creamy ingredients it can create a very savory, comforting, herbal taste that’s entirely unique. It’s the same reason why pasta drenched in sage butter is so good, for example. The flavors balance each other out.

And, speaking of butter there’s no better way to enjoy these biscuits than split in two with some butter spread over each half.

I’m not sure anything will forever replace regular biscuits, but these sage buttermilk biscuits are my current favorite. And, they went very fast at my house because everyone else loved them, too!
