Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder, cream of tartar, sugar, and powdered milk.
- Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
Tips & Substitutions
For an even fluffier texture, ensure your baking powder is fresh. If you don’t have powdered milk, you can substitute with an equal amount of regular milk, adjusting the liquid in your final recipe. Experiment with adding herbs or cheese for a savory twist, which pairs beautifully with Cinnamon Swirl Breakfast Muffins.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are perfect as a side for breakfast, served alongside eggs or sausage, or as a base for a hearty breakfast sandwich. Consider pairing them with honey or jam for a sweet touch, or use them to complement a savory dish like fried chicken. They also make a great base for the Working Woman Biscuits recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but the texture may be denser. Consider using a 50/50 blend of whole wheat and all-purpose flour for a lighter biscuit while still retaining some health benefits.
How do I know when the biscuits are done baking?
The biscuits are done when they are golden brown on top and have a slight rise. You can also test by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, they are ready to enjoy!
Can I freeze the biscuit mix for later use?
Absolutely! Freezing the biscuit mix is a great way to prolong its shelf life. Just ensure it's stored in an airtight container. When ready to use, there’s no need to thaw; you can use it straight from the freezer.
