Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting half of the oil with melted butter. If you prefer a lighter biscuit, use a combination of all-purpose flour and self-rising flour. Make sure to mix the ingredients just until combined to avoid tough biscuits. This mix can also be used for Southern Biscuits(Club Member: Ashley Wilson) by adding a bit of sugar and butter to the dough before baking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use regular all-purpose flour, but you'll need to add baking powder and salt to achieve similar results. For every cup of all-purpose flour, add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
How can I make the biscuits fluffier?
To achieve fluffier biscuits, avoid overmixing the dough and ensure your ingredients, especially the buttermilk, are cold. You can also add a tablespoon of baking soda to enhance the rise.
Can I freeze the biscuit mix?
Yes, you can freeze the biscuit mix for up to three months. Just make sure it's in a tightly sealed container. When ready to use, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before baking.
