- Cut with a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter.
- Place biscuits on a greased cookie sheet.

Tips & Substitutions
To achieve a light and fluffy texture, ensure your yeast is fresh and properly activated before mixing. If you're out of self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. For a slightly healthier twist, consider using olive oil instead of traditional frying shortening.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these fried biscuits hot, paired with apple butter or honey for a delightful contrast of flavors. They also make a fantastic accompaniment to soups or stews, similar to how you would enjoy them with Hush Pups. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fried biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through and crisp. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.
