Ingredients
Instructions
- Pat out the dough, don't roll, and cut with a biscuit cutter.
- Bake at 375°F until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, handle the dough as little as possible; patting it out gently instead of rolling helps maintain air pockets. If you don't have shortening, you can substitute with an equal amount of butter or coconut oil. Adjust the milk quantity based on the dough consistency; it should be slightly sticky but manageable. For added flavor, consider incorporating herbs or cheese.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are perfect served warm with butter and jam or alongside a hearty soup. They pair beautifully with Joanna'S Favorite Chicken Noodles for a comforting meal. For a brunch option, serve them with scrambled eggs and fresh fruit. You can also enjoy them as a base for breakfast sandwiches.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, wrap them in foil and place in a preheated 350°F oven for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 15-20 seconds, but they may lose some crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the biscuit dough ahead of time. Simply wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, allow the dough to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before patting it out and cutting.
Why are my biscuits not rising?
If your biscuits aren’t rising, it could be due to expired baking powder or overworking the dough. Ensure your baking powder is fresh and remember to handle the dough gently. The key is to create light, fluffy layers without compressing the dough too much.
Can I freeze the biscuits?
Yes, you can freeze biscuits before or after baking. To freeze unbaked biscuits, arrange them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Bake them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
