Butter Stick Biscuits
Buttery, fluffy biscuits with a hint of sweetness, perfect for breakfast or a snack. Their warm, golden crust and tender interior make them a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in a 9-inch pan.
- Mix the milk, self-rising flour, and sugar in a bowl with a fork.
- Spread the mixture in the pan with the melted butter on the bottom.
- Cut squares with a sharp knife before baking.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 350°F until golden and bread lifts out easily.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use cold milk to create a fluffier texture. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Consider adding herbs or cheese for extra flavor, or try pairing these biscuits with the No Fat Strawberry Shake for a delightful contrast.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these buttery biscuits warm, perhaps with a drizzle of honey or jam for a sweet touch. They pair wonderfully with savory dishes like soups or stews, making them a versatile addition to any meal. Consider serving alongside the Golden Carrot Cake for a delightful brunch spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to regain their crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, you can substitute margarine for butter in this recipe. However, keep in mind that the flavor may differ slightly, as butter provides a rich taste that margarine may not replicate completely.
What can I add to the biscuit mix for extra flavor?
You can experiment by adding shredded cheese, chopped herbs, or even spices like garlic powder to the biscuit mix. These additions can enhance the flavor and pair well with the biscuits' buttery base.
Can I freeze these biscuits?
Absolutely! You can freeze the uncooked biscuit mixture or baked biscuits. If freezing before baking, shape the biscuits and place them on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
