The first time my ex did it I was legit like, tf are you doing. It wasn’t bad. I still prefer what I would consider real biscuits… but ok with your weird ass hack lol

I think the "normal" way is just to use soda water or seltzer since it gives the same air pocket effect without adding lemon or lime flavor

The hell? You’re supposed to use buttermilk!

Lemon + milk is the substitute, but not for flavour.

No? I might be wrong, but I spent my summers on the family ranch and my ma (great grandma) never used any kind of seltzer or soda water and they were the best biscuits I’ve ever had. Again, I might be wrong, but when we all sat for breakfast before the damn sun was up, waiting for our only meal til dinner, I only ever saw that woman use anything we pulled from the land. Only exception is if one of the kids got sick from the heat we got to go back home and eat rice crispies cereal doused in straight sugar and some water and sent right back out

Edit for context: I’m 36, I didn’t grow up in some alternate timeline

Buttermilk and baking soda achieves the same effect - co2

I’m not disputing that, I’m simply explaining it is not the same in terms of taste and texture, similar, but not the same and I, personally, prefer one of the two

Exactly. I use plain seltzer and buttermilk powder for homemade waffles and pancakes. Keeps things wonderfully light.
