- Serving Suggestions: These biscuits are perfect with breakfast (think scrambled eggs and sausage), as a side with soups and stews, or even with a drizzle of honey.
- Storage: Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes for that fresh-baked taste.
Variants:
- Cheddar Biscuits: Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients for a cheesy twist.

- Sweet Biscuits: Add 1/4 cup of sugar and a pinch of cinnamon to the dough for a sweet, slightly dessert-like biscuit.
FAQ:
- Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk? Yes, if you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar to 3/4 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes before using.
- Why are my biscuits not rising? Make sure your baking powder is fresh. Also, avoid overworking the dough, as this can cause the biscuits to become dense.
- Can I freeze these biscuits? Yes! You can freeze the unbaked biscuits on a baking sheet and then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you’re ready to bake, just pop them into the oven from frozen and add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
These fluffy homemade biscuits are the perfect comfort food, and they’re surprisingly simple to make. With a flaky, buttery texture and a golden brown finish, they’re sure to impress. Whether you enjoy them as a snack or as part of a bigger meal, these biscuits will never disappoint! Enjoy!
