Dont be afraid of a little extra tang.
Its also because grandmothers somehow know all the tricks.
They know how to make the crispiest fried chicken and fluffiest biscuits, no recipe needed.

Its quite impressive, albeit frustrating when you grow up and realize you desperately need the intel.
(Neighbors even ask for the recipe in passing on the street.)
So, I had to ask her.
Her mystery ingredient is, in fact, pickle juice.
That is, if there happens to be leftovers, which is rare.
Now, I’m tempted to try adding a little bit of jalapeno juice next time for heat.
Then, consider pulling out the pickle jar!
