One of my favorite things about opening a kitchen One of my favorite things about opening a kitchen was making the best,  biggest,  fluffiest,  most delicious buttermilk biscuits.  That,  and having the kitchen to myself at 5:30 in the morning. 
On weekdays,  the batch was about 40 biscuits... but on the weekends,  we would double and sometimes triple that amount and still sell out by lunch.  I think the hardest thing about switching from bulk cooking to everyday cooking is reducing the recipe.. instead of "5 pitchers of flour,  1 jug of buttermilk,".. you're working with cups.. not pitchers, lol. 😆  Do you like your biscuits extra large and fluffy, or do you prefer regular sized biscuits?  #buttermilkbiscuits #restaurantlife #eatrealfood #biscuits #cheflife #restaurantstyle #ladleandgrain
