Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the egg, vanilla, milk, and sugar.
- Knead the mixture until it forms a dough and then shape into a ball.
- Refrigerate the dough for one hour before baking.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using buttermilk instead of regular milk. You can also substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour for added nutrition. If you're short on time, skip refrigerating the dough and bake immediately, although chilling helps improve texture. To ensure even baking, make sure your oven is preheated and use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Serving Suggestions
These egg biscuits are delightful served warm with a dollop of butter or jam. They pair beautifully with a side of scrambled eggs or can be enjoyed alongside a fresh fruit salad for breakfast. Consider serving them with a cup of tea or coffee for a cozy treat. They also make a great snack or dessert when drizzled with a simple glaze.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze them individually wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer bag. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. This will help retain their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend if needed. Just ensure that the blend you choose can be used as a one-to-one substitute for regular flour. Keep in mind that the texture may vary slightly.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough feels too sticky, you can add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a workable consistency. Alternatively, you can chill the dough for a bit longer to help it firm up.
Can I add other flavors or ingredients to the biscuits?
Absolutely! You can add chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit to the dough for extra flavor. Spices like cinnamon or nutmeg can also enhance the taste. Experiment to find your favorite combination!
