Ingredients
Instructions
- Pat the dough in your hand to shape the biscuits.
- Place the shaped biscuits in a dish.
- Bake until golden brown at 350°F.
Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier biscuits, consider using cold shortening and incorporate it well with the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. If you want a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with buttermilk. If you find the dough too sticky, add a little more flour. Remember, overworking the dough can lead to tough biscuits, so handle it gently.
Serving Suggestions
These homemade biscuits are perfect for breakfast or as a side dish with dinner. Serve them warm with butter and jam, or alongside a hearty soup like Agnes' Noodles. They also pair beautifully with Tender Swiss Steak(Or Round) for a comforting meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze them for up to three months. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through to retain their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of regular flour?
Yes, all-purpose flour works perfectly in this recipe, providing a nice texture. However, if you want an extra light biscuit, consider a blend of all-purpose and cake flour.
What can I do if my biscuits turn out too hard?
If your biscuits are hard, it's likely due to overmixing the dough. Next time, mix just until combined. If they do end up hard, try warming them in the microwave with a damp paper towel to soften them.
Can I add ingredients like cheese or herbs to the dough?
Absolutely! Adding shredded cheese, herbs, or even spices can elevate the flavor of your biscuits. Just fold them gently into the dough before shaping to maintain the biscuit's texture.
