Recipe Box: Best Ever Biscuits!

Image by me! Biscuits fresh out of the oven.

Breakfast is big in my house, and one of my household's favorite comfort foods is homemade Biscuits and Gravy! Now, everyone likes different gravy; with or without meat, peppered or plain, scratch or easy mix, etc. etc...but I've finally found the BISCUITS that please everyone!!

This recipe makes wonderful biscuits!  They are crunchy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside - dense, but not too heavy.


Best Ever Biscuits
(makes about 12 or so)

2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
4 tablespoons softened butter
about 3/4 cup milk

Heat up your oven to 400 degrees.

Sift the flour before measuring it, add baking powder and salt, and then sift it all together.

Pinch the butter into the flour until it is well-mixed, moist crumb. Use your fingers! It's fun.

Add milk as needed, gradually, and stir until you get a soft dough. I never use the whole 3/4 cup.

Knead your dough for about half a minute on a lightly floured surface until it holds it's shape.

Roll it out 1/2 inch thick and cut with your biscuit cutter of choice, or make hand biscuits by patting out small rounds in your palm.

Bake on ungreased sheet for 12-15 minutes.


That's it! Plain and simple. I'm never buying biscuit mix again - this is too easy to make, and you end up with amazing results! 

Mmmm...time for warm biscuits and honey...
