White Wine Biscuits are light, tender treats with a subtle wine flavor, perfect for brunch or casual gatherings, appealing to those who enjoy delicate, slightly sweet baked goods.
Ingredients
Instructions

- Set aside the dry mixture.
- Combine white wine and oil in a separate bowl.
- Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter biscuit, consider using a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour. You can substitute the white wine with a sparkling apple cider for a non-alcoholic version. Ensure your oil is neutral flavored to avoid overpowering the subtle wine notes. Mixing the dry and wet ingredients gently prevents overworking the dough, which keeps the biscuits tender.
Serving Suggestions
These white wine biscuits are delightful on their own but can also be served with a spread of butter or a fruit preserves for added flavor. Pair them with a light salad or a charcuterie board for a lovely brunch or snack option. They also complement dishes like roasted vegetables or a creamy soup beautifully.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to a month. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of wine for this recipe?
Yes, you can experiment with different types of white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay, depending on your taste preference. Just keep in mind that the flavor of the wine will influence the final taste of the biscuits.
How can I make these biscuits vegan?
To make these biscuits vegan, substitute the oil with a plant-based oil and ensure you use a vegan white wine. The recipe already does not include any animal products, making it a great option for vegan recipes.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky, gradually add a little more flour until the desired consistency is reached. Be careful not to add too much, as it can make the biscuits dense. Working on a floured surface can also help manage stickiness.
