Whole grain buttermilk biscuits are a rare treat in our home. We begin most mornings with a breakfast of pastured eggs and wilted greens or homemade yogurt and soaked oatmeal porridge.

While it’s a far cry from the trans-fat, white-flour stuff you’ll find in the freezer section of your local grocery store, it’s a nourishing substitute.
