Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut peanut butter into the self-rising flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add milk and mix lightly with a fork until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board.
- Knead gently for about 30 seconds.
- Roll out the dough to 1/2-inch thickness.
- Cut with a biscuit cutter and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy. If you don't have self-rising flour, combine all-purpose flour with 1 tablespoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt. For a twist, add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the dough. Ensure the milk is at room temperature to help the dough come together smoothly.
Serving Suggestions
These peanut butter biscuits are delightful on their own or served with a dollop of your favorite jam or honey. They pair beautifully with a cup of tea or coffee for breakfast or as an afternoon snack. For a heartier meal, serve them alongside chili for a comforting lunch, like in Chili Cheese Biscuits.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover peanut butter biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 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 use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can substitute regular all-purpose flour by adding 1 tablespoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt for every cup of flour. This will help the biscuits rise and achieve the desired texture.
What can I add to the dough for extra flavor?
You can enhance the flavor by mixing in ingredients like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even a pinch of cinnamon. These additions can elevate the taste and make your biscuits even more enjoyable.
How can I make these biscuits gluten-free?
To make gluten-free peanut butter biscuits, substitute the self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that contains xanthan gum. This will help mimic the texture of traditional biscuits while keeping them gluten-free.
