Recipe

Biscuits are a classic baked treat known for their light, flaky texture and versatility. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or as a side dish, this recipe is simple and yields delicious results.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 3/4 cup cold milk

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times.
6. Roll the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
7. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

Notes:

• For extra flakiness, chill the dough for 10 minutes before baking.
• Substitute buttermilk for milk for a tangier flavor.

What To Serve With It

When I make biscuits, I love pairing them with savory options like fried chicken or sausage gravy, but they’re just as amazing with sweet treats like honey or jam. It’s all about balancing flavors to suit your mood or meal. Let’s talk about how to make these pairings shine!

Savory Pairings

There’s something magical about how a warm biscuit can turn an ordinary meal into something special. I love pairing them with dishes rich in savory spices, like herb-roasted chicken or spiced sausage gravy. For cheese options, I’ll add cheddar or pepper jack to the biscuit dough or melt them on top. They’re also perfect with scrambled eggs, bacon, or a hearty stew for a cozy, satisfying meal.

Sweet Accompaniments

Since biscuits are so versatile, they’re just as amazing with sweet treats as they are with savory dishes. I love slathering them with honey butter—it’s creamy, sweet, and melts perfectly into the warm layers. Fruit preserves are another favorite, especially strawberry or raspberry, adding a tangy burst of flavor. Sometimes, I’ll even drizzle a little extra honey on top for a touch of golden sweetness. It’s pure comfort!
