Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the self-rising flour, sugar, and salt well.
- Put the mixture on a floured board.
- Knead the dough a little and make small balls.
- Place the balls in a greased baking dish.
- Bake at 450°F for about 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier biscuits, ensure your oil is at room temperature before adding it to the dry ingredients. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and add 1 tablespoon of baking powder for each cup of flour. For an added flavor twist, consider incorporating herbs or cheese into the dough. These Hurry Up Biscuits can also be served alongside Easy Beef Burgundy for a hearty meal.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are best served warm, straight from the oven. They pair wonderfully with butter and honey or your favorite jam. For a complete meal, enjoy them with a bowl of soup or stew, or alongside a fresh salad. They also make a great side for American recipes like roast chicken or creamy pasta dishes.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover 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. If you prefer a softer texture, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but you will need to add baking powder and salt to achieve the same rise and flavor. For every cup of whole wheat flour, add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
What can I do if my biscuits are too dry?
If your biscuits turn out dry, try adding a little more milk or oil to the dough next time. Also, avoid over-kneading as this can make the biscuits tough. If you have leftovers, serve them with a side of gravy to add moisture and flavor.
How can I make these biscuits more flavorful?
To enhance the flavor of your biscuits, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dry ingredients. You could also mix in shredded cheese or spices like paprika for a savory twist. For a sweet version, cinnamon or vanilla extract can be added for a delightful taste.
