Make-ahead Buttermilk Biscuits for those mornings when you can't stop hitting the snooze button.

These buttermilk cheese biscuits are perfect both fresh out the oven, and the freezer.

Orange Berry Muffins exploding with plump blueberries and a hint of orange are super easy to make. You can even make these scrumptious muffins year round using fresh or frozen blueberries.

The last few days I have been on the hunt for recipes with buttermilk. I had to buy the 1/2 gallon size container the other day when I made the cinnamon rolls and I am on a mission not to waste any. This recipe is not like every other chocolate cookie recipe, it's almost bittersweet from the buttermilk. Not only is the chocolate flavor amazing, the texture is great too. The outside gets a little crispy but the inside stays gooey and delicious!

Rustic Irish Soda Bread made with buttermilk and varietal whole-wheat flours. Studded with raisins and caraway seed. Blarney good!

Moist, crumbly, tangy and delicious buttermilk pound cake.

We're huge fans of citrus-flavored cakes, and this recipe was too good to pass up. It "uses orange zest and fresh orange juice and is topped with a smooth chocolate glaze." The orange flavor is somehow "subtle and pronounced all at the same time," and the chocolate glaze is a perfect complement.

Another plus: something about this cake is bright and joyful, which is just what we needed this week. (Anyone else sitting in the middle of a blizzard?!)

Tartine Bakery's recipe for Currant Buttermilk Scones.

"These are perfect on a blustery weekend morning with a hot cup of coffee and a crossword!" No doubt! I think chocolate chip scones are perfect any time. :)

This bread is the best of all worlds: quick, healthy, yummy. Erica uses whole wheat flour, buttermilk and maple syrup in her batter and then folds in "bits of butter mixed with cinnamon." The result is a bread that "tastes like a mixture of quick bread and cinnamon swirl bread," and is filled with "little pockets of buttery cinnamon goodness."
