Yummy to My Tummy: Alice's Buttermilk Biscuits

This recipe comes from the Apples of Gold mentoring program at our church. Alice, one of the mentors, is an amazing cook, so anything of hers is always awesome! These biscuits are easy & oh, so good. We had breakfast for dinner on Sunday night, including biscuits, sausage balls, scrambled eggs & fruit. The kids were so thrilled with our menu that we may have to make a habit of it.
