These biscuits are wonderfully versatile. Enjoy them as a comforting breakfast, a snack, or a side for your favorite meals. With simple ingredients and easy steps, they’re a recipe you’ll come back to time and again.
5. Roll Out the Dough:
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Roll or pat it to about ¾ inch thick.
6. Cut the Biscuits:
Use a biscuit cutter or a cookie cutter to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting for a better rise. Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet or iron skillet, ensuring they touch slightly for a higher rise.
7. Bake:
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
8. Serve:
Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam. They’re also perfect for soaking up gravy or paired with soup.
Tips for Success
Cold Butter is Key: Cold butter creates flaky layers. If your kitchen is warm, freeze the butter for a few minutes before cutting it into the dough.
Don’t Overwork the Dough: Overmixing can make the biscuits tough. Handle the dough gently for the best texture.
Buttermilk Option: If you have buttermilk on hand, use it for a richer flavor and slightly tangier biscuit.
