Interesting Facts

Abernathy Biscuits are named after a famous southern chef, Mary Abernathy, who popularized this flaky biscuit recipe.

The key to making perfect Abernathy Biscuits is to use cold butter and handle the dough gently to create layers for that flaky texture.

Buttermilk gives these biscuits a tangy flavor and helps to activate the baking powder for a light and airy texture.
