Easy Processor Biscuits
Quick and flaky biscuits made with self-rising flour and buttermilk, perfect for breakfast or as a side, suitable for all skill levels and bread lovers.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Position the knife blade in the food processor bowl.
- Add the self-rising flour and cold butter to the food processor.
- Cover and process, pulsing 6 to 7 times, until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- With the processor running, slowly add the buttermilk through the food chute until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Tips & Substitutions
For an even flakier texture, ensure your butter is very cold and handle the dough as little as possible. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. Consider adding herbs or cheese to the dough for extra flavor. These biscuits can also be made with whole wheat flour for a heartier option.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are perfect for breakfast or brunch, served warm with butter and jam. They also pair beautifully with Gail'S Mushroom Rolls for a delightful meal. Consider serving them alongside soups or stews, or use them to make a biscuit sandwich with your favorite fillings for a satisfying lunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then placed in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour. To make it rise, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt for every cup of all-purpose flour used. This will mimic the leavening effect of self-rising flour.
What can I add to the dough for extra flavor?
You can add a variety of ingredients to enhance the flavor of your biscuits. Consider mixing in shredded cheese, fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme, or even spices such as garlic powder. These additions can complement the biscuits beautifully and make them a standout side dish.
How can I tell when the biscuits are done baking?
The biscuits are done when they have risen and are golden brown on top. You can also tap the top lightly; if it sounds hollow, they are likely cooked through. For best results, bake them until they reach an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C).
