Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together until just combined.
- Drop spoonfuls into greased muffin tins or roll out on a floured surface and cut into rounds.
- Bake at 400°F until golden brown, about 12-15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, be careful not to overmix the dough; just combine until the ingredients are moistened. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Try adding herbs like rosemary or chives for added flavor, which can complement dishes like Asparagus Cheese Pie.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these angel biscuits warm, slathered with butter or honey for a delightful breakfast treat. They pair wonderfully with savory dishes like soups or stews, making them a versatile addition to your meal. For a sweet twist, enjoy them alongside Applesauce Cream Pie as a dessert option. They also complement hearty salads or can be used for sandwiches.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover angel biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them fresh longer, refrigerate them for up to a week. When reheating, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes to restore their crispiness, rather than microwaving, which can make them chewy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze angel biscuits for later use?
Yes, you can freeze these biscuits. After baking, let them cool completely, then place in an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm in the oven.
What can I use instead of Miracle Whip?
If you prefer not to use Miracle Whip, you can substitute with mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for a similar creaminess. Keep in mind that using Greek yogurt may alter the flavor slightly, but it will still yield delicious results.
How can I make these biscuits sweeter?
To add a touch of sweetness, you can incorporate a couple of tablespoons of sugar or honey into the dough. This will give the biscuits a subtle sweetness that pairs nicely with breakfast spreads or jams.
