While most biscuit doughs are made from a combination of flour, butter, buttermilk and a leavening agent like baking powder or baking soda, the addition of eggs truly depends on the recipe, and more importantly, I think, the family making them.

For many, biscuits are one of those baked goods that sparks memories. Whether it’s your grandmother’s recipe that’s been passed down or a Sunday afternoon spent baking, biscuits are a cozy baked good that reminds many of home. And for Gaines, this recipe with eggs is “[her] family’s perfect biscuit recipe.”
