Wanda'S Hardee'S Biscuits
Buttery, flaky homemade biscuits with a tender crumb and golden crust, perfect for breakfast or as a side dish, suited for family gatherings or casual meals.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the self-rising flour, baking powder, sugar, buttermilk, water, and melted Crisco shortening; let set for 5 minutes.
- Roll the dough about 1 inch thick and cut into biscuits using a biscuit cutter.
- Place the cut biscuits on a greased pan, leaving space between them to rise and spread.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, ensure your Crisco shortening is melted but slightly cooled before mixing with the other ingredients. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. If buttermilk is unavailable, regular milk with a splash of vinegar or lemon juice can be a suitable substitute.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are perfect for breakfast with a pat of butter and honey, or served alongside a hearty soup or stew. They also pair beautifully with Strawberry Sherbet(Definitely For Spring!) for a refreshing dessert. Consider adding a side of gravy for a classic southern touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, wrap them in foil and warm in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes, ensuring they stay moist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. This can enhance the flavors as the dough rests. Just remember to bring it to room temperature before rolling out.
What can I do if my biscuits turn out too dense?
If your biscuits are dense, it might be due to overmixing the dough or using too much flour. Ensure you mix just until combined and avoid pressing the dough too hard when rolling. Light, gentle handling is key to fluffy biscuits.
Is there a way to make these biscuits healthier?
To make these biscuits healthier, consider using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. You can also reduce the sugar or substitute it with honey or maple syrup. Additionally, using less shortening or a healthier fat option can help.
