Garland'S Biscuits
Golden, fluffy biscuits with optional cheddar and sausage, perfect for breakfast or sides, appealing to comfort food lovers and suitable for family gatherings or brunch.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 450°F.
- Mix self-rising flour, oil, and milk together until well combined.
- Roll out the dough about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick on floured wax paper.
- Cut out about 16 medium-sized biscuits.
- Bake on a cookie sheet for about 10 to 12 minutes until golden.
- To make sausage balls, add 1/2 pound sausage to this mixture before baking.
- Optionally, add 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese to the mixture.
Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier biscuits, handle the dough gently and avoid overmixing. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. Experiment with different oils, like olive or melted butter, for varied flavor. For a twist, consider adding herbs or spices to the mixture.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are perfect for breakfast or as a side dish with soups and stews. Serve them warm with butter and jam or alongside savory dishes like sausage gravy. For a heartier option, try adding 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese to the dough for a cheesy delight that pairs beautifully with your favorite soups.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to a month. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through for the best texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt for every cup of all-purpose flour to replicate the self-rising flour effect. This will help your biscuits rise properly while maintaining their fluffy texture.
What can I add to the biscuit mixture for extra flavor?
You can enhance the flavor by adding ingredients like herbs, garlic powder, or seasonings. Incorporating 1/2 pound of sausage will create delicious sausage balls, or mix in 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese for a cheesy twist that complements various meals.
How do I know when the biscuits are done baking?
The biscuits are done when they turn a nice golden brown on top and have risen well. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Keep an eye on them, as baking times can vary slightly depending on your oven.
