Ingredients
Instructions
- Add all of the dry ingredients to a bowl.
- Sift the dry ingredients with your hand to combine.
- Add in the butter and knead it through the dough until evenly distributed.
- Pour in the milk and knead the dough gently.
- Dust the work surface with flour as needed for proper consistency.
- Roll out the dough and cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, make sure your butter is cold before incorporating it into the dry ingredients; this helps create flaky layers. If you don't have milk on hand, you can substitute with almond milk or buttermilk for added flavor. To enhance the sweetness, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are delightful on their own but can be served with butter, honey, or jam for breakfast. They also pair beautifully with savory dishes like fried chicken or can be used as a base for a rich sausage gravy. For a fun twist, try them alongside Linda'S Easy Peach Cobbler for a delicious dessert experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Just make sure to let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before rolling out, as this makes it easier to handle.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky, gradually add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a workable consistency. Be cautious not to add too much flour, as it can make the biscuits tough.
How can I tell when the biscuits are done?
The biscuits are done when they are golden brown on the top and bottom. You can also gently tap the top—if it sounds hollow, they are likely cooked through. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
