Fried Buttermilk Biscuits
Serves: 10
Ingredients
- 2½ tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying

- 1¼ cups whole buttermilk
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven, pour oil to fill halfway, and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350°.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add buttermilk and oil, stirring until a thick batter forms.
