how to make
Ingredients :
- 2 cups self-rising flour or a gluten-free alternative
- 3/4 cup milk, water, or plant-based milk
Directions :
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a bowl, combine the flour and your chosen liquid until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick round.
- Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds from the dough.
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until they are golden and risen.
- Brush with melted butter and serve warm. These biscuits are great with jam, gravy, or fried chicken for a classic Southern flair.
how to serve
These biscuits can be served right out of the oven as a side dish or snack. Enjoy them with butter and your favorite jam for breakfast or pair them with a hearty soup or stew for dinner. They also go wonderfully with fried chicken, making them a great addition to any comfort food meal.
how to store
If you have any leftovers, let the biscuits cool completely. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, place them in the refrigerator or freeze them. To reheat, simply warm them in the oven or microwave.
tips to make
- Make sure your self-rising flour is fresh for the best results.
- Don’t over-knead the dough; just mix until combined.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or some cheese to the dough.
- If you like a softer biscuit, use more liquid; for a firmer biscuit, use a little less.
variation
You can easily mix things up by adding herbs like rosemary or thyme for an extra kick of flavor. You can also experiment with different types of milk, such as almond or oat milk, for a unique twist.
FAQs
1. Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, but you will need to add baking powder and salt to the regular flour to mimic self-rising flour.

Yes, you can freeze the biscuit dough before baking. Just wrap it tightly and store it in the freezer. When ready to bake, thaw it in the refrigerator and then cut and bake as usual.
3. What is the best way to reheat biscuits?
The best way to reheat biscuits is in the oven. Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and warm them for about 5–10 minutes until heated through.
