Buttermilk Biscuits - Good Food, Better Song

 

Quite honestly, I have never made homemade buttermilk biscuits.  But, I do love them.  So what does that say about me? Yes, I enjoy eating out and yes, I buy Pillsbury ones and bake them.  I remember growing up my favorite ones were from Kentucky Fried Chicken.  Those were so good! Throw some butter on them when they are warm and there you go.  Now, I'm hungry for some!  But's let continue on.

Back in 1988 a wonderful song came out.  The artist's name, Sir Mix-A-Lot.  The name of the song? Buttermilk Biscuits!  Now, if you hear the song at first and you have never heard it, you may think it's a bit cheesy.  But, listen to it again. Then memorize it. Sing it at your next family get together. It's funny and will make your family laugh. Make sure to clap your hands and stomp your feet! Listen to the video below.

Now I'm your big maul dropper, mud duck stopper
Fila on the bottom and Adidas on the topper
Transform scratchin', big beat matchin'
I can tell you're getting jealous by the looks I'm catchin'

I hate dumb skeezers, MC beaters
Drop 5 grand on my Bird wattmeter
Smooth like ice, don't get nice
Just turn up the box for the Mix-A-Lot slice (huh huh)

Y'all ready to get busy? (huh huh!)

Now, buttermilk biscuits here we go
Sift the flour, roll the dough
Clap your hands and stomp your feet
Move your butt to the funky beat (huh huh)

Buttermilk biscuits
Them buttermilk biscuits
Buttermilk biscuits
(Lord have mercy Mix-A-Lot's got me rappin' about biscuits now)

Freak from L.A. to the Carolinas
Dip them suckers in Aunt Jemima
Don't make a difference what food you make
Use buttermilk biscuits to clean your plate
You eat 'em in the morn', you eat 'em at night
Kentucky Fried Chicken makes the suckers just right
I am eat 'em with jelly at my favorite deli
Wrapped and sealed by a freak named Shelley (huh huh)

Buttermilk biscuits
Buttermilk biscuits
Buttermilk biscuits

One day I kissed my freak, hit the street
Looking for something to eat
In a 18-wheeler, lookin' real swass
All the girls smile 'cause I'm the big boss
Said I gotta eat now, can't eat later
Made a lot of noise to attract my waiter

The boy walked up, and what did he say?
"Say, buttermilk biscuits free today!"
Well what you waitin' on boy, get up shake a leg
Gimme ten of them suckers with grits and eggs
Glass of Koolaid and a whole stick of butter
Them biscuits make me a superfast cutter (huh huh)

Now grab that can and wrap it in your hand
Bang that sucker 'til the dough expand
Put them suckers up in your oven
Grab your girlie and get a little lovin'

Add a dab of honey if you want to get funny
Microwave the suckers if you want your honey runny
Kinda get naughty at the Mix-A-Lot party
And rub them suckers all over your body (huh huh)
