Steve'S Biscuits
Fluffy, buttery biscuits with a tender crumb, perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. Their simple, comforting flavor pairs wonderfully with honey, jam, or savory spreads.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine flour, cream milk, and water in a bowl and mix until a moist dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth.
- Roll the dough out to 1/2-inch thickness using a rolling pin.
- Cut out biscuit shapes with a biscuit cutter and place them on a greased baking pan.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of sugar or a dash of baking powder to the dough. If you don't have cream milk, whole milk or a plant-based milk can work as a substitute. Make sure your dough isn't overworked to keep the biscuits light and fluffy. You can also experiment with adding herbs or cheese for a unique twist.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are perfect as a breakfast treat or served alongside fried chicken or a hearty stew. They pair beautifully with Fred'S Barbecue Sauce for a savory twist. For a delightful dessert option, enjoy them with a drizzle of honey or butter. Serve warm for the best experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer bag for up to a month. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through, which helps retain their texture.

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. This allows the flavors to meld together. Just roll out and cut the biscuits right before you plan to bake them for optimal freshness.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough feels too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour on your work surface and gently knead in additional flour until it reaches a workable consistency. Be careful not to over-knead, as this can lead to tough biscuits.
How do I know when the biscuits are done baking?
The biscuits are done when they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. You can also use a toothpick inserted in the center; it should come out clean. Baking time may vary, so keep an eye on them in the last few minutes.
