Today I did Brunch With Martha! No, sadly, Martha did not invite me to her summer home for brunch and mimosas. So I had to settle for the next best thing by whipping up some Buttermilk Biscuits from page 201 of The South section of her American Cooking masterpiece and creating a brunch around it!
I made some bacon, poached eggs, and a spicy brown mustard gravy and sopped it all up with those tasty biscuits, then I washed it down with a nice glass of iced coffee. To be honest, I prefer the buttermilk biscuits I make with some yeast because they bake up bigger and fluffier, still, this recipe is mighty tasty and a whole lot quicker! They were flaky, soft and buttery and were the perfect compliment to the perfect brunch.
I’m really starting to enjoy living la vida Martha – it’s so civilized!
