She Knew What She Was Doing: A Recipe Passed Down With Love
You could tell just by the way she moved around the kitchen—measuring nothing, yet everything came out perfect. Flour dusted her apron like a badge of honor. Butter melted in cast iron with a sizzle that said something good was coming. And when she set her dishes down on the table, no one doubted: she knew what she was doing.
This wasn’t cooking from a book. This was cooking from the heart, the kind that’s been passed down through memory, repetition, and care.
The Signature Dish
One of her most beloved recipes? Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Biscuits. Golden, flaky, tender in the middle with a crisp top — these weren’t just biscuits. They were a reminder that food could be simple, soulful, and sacred.
Today, we’re sharing her recipe — not reinvented, not reimagined — just respected. Because sometimes, the best thing you can do is not change a thing.
🧈 Her Buttermilk Biscuit Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (plus more for brushing)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). She never used a thermometer — she “just knew” when the oven was hot enough.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in the butter. She used her fingers, quickly rubbing the butter into the flour until it looked like coarse crumbs. Don’t overwork it — you want little pockets of butter.
- Add the buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together. “Don’t fuss with it too much,” she’d say. “Let it be.”
