In our opinion, some of the best Saturday mornings were those spent at Grandma’s house with the smell of her cooking coming from the kitchen. Whether she was whipping up homemade biscuits with sausage gravy, baking a batch of homemade cinnamon rolls, or frying up potatoes in her cast-iron skillet, her best breakfast recipes never disappointed.
Southern Grandmas know that fried potatoes aren’t just for supper. They’re a great addition to any breakfast spread.
Just four ingredients(and some parchment paper) are needed to make homemade buttermilk biscuits. Whether you serve them with jam or use them as the base for an egg sandwich, making them from scratch is the only way to go.
While homemade cinnamon rolls do take a bit more effort than opening a can, they’re definitely worth the extra time.
