You know how it is when you get into a dinner rut: protein, veggie, starch over and over again. Quick and easy dinners<\/a> are amazing, but sometimes you need a little something extra to liven them up. That\u2019s where a simple homemade biscuit recipe comes in.<\/p>\n Everyone loves warm, fluffy biscuits straight from the oven. While you can rely on refrigerated biscuit brands, a recipe for homemade biscuits is easy to make from scratch with just a handful of ingredients, most of which you have right in your cupboard and fridge. That\u2019s right\u2014you\u2019re never more than five ingredients and 30 minutes away from amazing homemade biscuits that can liven up any meal.<\/p>\n Learning how to make homemade biscuits is such a worthwhile endeavor, and it doesn\u2019t need to be challenging. This simple homemade biscuits recipe is a snap to put together, and you probably don’t even have to leave the house to buy ingredients.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 450\u00b0F. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Then, grab your cold butter and cut it into cubes. Cut these butter bits into your flour mixture with a pastry blender (or work the butter in with your fingers) until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.<\/p>\n Stir in the milk until the dough is just moistened\u2014no need to overwork it.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> I love to cut my butter into cubes first and stick them in the freezer while I prep the rest of the recipe. You want your butter to be as cold as possible to create flaky layers.<\/p>\n Next, sprinkle your clean work surface with a bit of flour (just so the dough doesn\u2019t stick) and turn the dough out. Knead<\/a> the biscuit dough gently eight to ten times. Then, press the dough with your hands until it\u2019s 1\/2-inch thick.<\/p>\n Grab a 2-1\/2-inch biscuit cutter and cut out your biscuits.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> If you don\u2019t have a biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter, use a glass or cup with a thin rim. Dip the edge into some flour and use that as a cutter. It works just as well.<\/p>\n Finally, place your biscuits about 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake the biscuits until they\u2019re golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve them warm and enjoy!<\/p>\n First, let the recipe for homemade biscuits cool completely to room temperature. Then, pop the biscuits in an airtight container and keep them on the countertop for up to three days. You could also store them in the fridge to extend their life for up to five days, but know that the fridge will dry out the biscuits a bit.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze homemade biscuits. Place room-temperature, baked biscuits in an airtight container and freeze them for up to three months. Revive them in a 250\u00ba oven until warmed through, 5 to 10 minutes.<\/p>\n The key to making a fluffy homemade biscuits recipe is not to overwork the dough. The more you stir or knead the dough, the tougher the biscuits will be. The trick is to stir the milk in until just combined and then knead the biscuits very gently.<\/p>\n Also, be sure that you\u2019re measuring flour correctly<\/a>. If you add too much flour, you can make the biscuits heavy and dense.<\/p>\n There are some recipes out there that call for shortening (like these fluffy biscuits<\/a>), however, most call for butter. Butter provides more flavor than shortening and can create more flaky layers, just as butter creates a flakier pie crust<\/a>.<\/p>\n Our homemade biscuits recipe makes a great side with any dinner and can make even simple weekday suppers special. I especially love these biscuits with a hearty stew or creamy soup.<\/p>\n However, you don\u2019t need to save biscuits for dinnertime. They\u2019re great served up at breakfast with sausage gravy<\/a> or topped with good honey, homemade jam or even a little more butter. Flavored butter<\/a>, like honey butter or garlic lemon butter<\/a>, is lovely on them too. During autumn, indulge in the flavors of the season and smear apple butter<\/a> or pumpkin butter<\/a> on these biscuits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This simple biscuit recipe requires just five ingredients, and we bet you’ve got all five in your kitchen now.

Excellent basic recipe that can be enhanced in so many different ways, add some dried fruit, use buttermilk instead of milk, etc. They were fluffy and light. For those who had poor results, as a retired physician who 'discovered' his baking talent during Covid restrictions, let me offer a few vital points that will enhance all of your baking:\n1. Don't start with ingredients like flour taken straight out of the freezer (where I keep my flour) let it come to room temp or even warm it in the oven. Frozen ingredients inhibit baking powder or yeast.\n2. As mentioned, whisk dry ingredients together thoroughly\n3. While Baking soda lasts forever on the shelf, baking powder doesn't. If it's more than 6 months on the shelf or past is best before date - throw it out and start over with fresh BP.\n4. If you only need a few biscuits, the dough freezes wonderfully. l Just put the unbaked biscuits on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer - when frozen store in ziplocks. When you want 1 or 2 or a half dozen - just take them out and bake them directly out of the freezer. They will probably take a few minutes more of baking time.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-10-31","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Emily487"},"reviewBody":"I have made these biscuits about four times. The first time was fine, but the second and third time my biscuits were flat and dense. I read through these comments and realized that I needed to listen to reviewers like Liz907 and really follow the recipe. Yesterday, I made the biscuits again, making sure I truly whisked the dry ingredients, didn't overwork the incorporation of the butter (my dough was still a bit dry\/floury when moving on to the next step and that was okay) and only kneaded 8 times. After 11 minutes in the oven, my biscuits had risen beautifully. They're much fluffier and more enjoyable to eat than when I had taken shortcuts with the recipe. I highly recommend y'all learn from my mistakes--follow the recipe and the advice provided in these comments! These are great biscuits, and truly so easy!

Here is more than likely why : \n\nFlat:\n 1. Did you honestly whisk the dry ingredients? Whisking incorporates the necessary air needed to help the rising process. (Stirring with a spoon or spatula is not the same thing as whisking) \n2. Honestly how many times did you kneaded the dough? If you did it more than the recommended 8-10 times then you worked out all the air added by the whisking and over worked the baking powder. \n3. And probably most prevalent, understand that over time flour and especially baking powder become stale. You shouldn't be using baking powder you have had hanging around in your cupboard longer that a few months. After it's open the clock is ticking on its effectiveness. \n\nTaste: \n\n1. Salt is IMPORTANT! Salt opens up your taste buds. So if you omitted the salt for health idealization or used unsalted butter, this is the reason for no taste. \n\n2. Using skim or 1% milk... Rather than the 2% milk the recipe calls for, which does have more flavor. \n\n3. Your flour or baking powder is old.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2022-03-13","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Sathya"},"reviewBody":"My personal best ever while baking biscuits.

If you're expecting a savory biscuit with its own distinct flavor, look elsewhere. But if you want something no-fuss for, say, biscuits and gravy as I made this morning, this works perfectly. As far as \"not rising\" or being \"hard as a hockey puck\", remember this isn't a cookie dough. Knead to the point where things just hold together, and not further. I used a stand mixer with a paddle attachment on low for maybe 20 seconds after adding the milk, and that's it. Use cold butter and there's no need for a rolling pin. You can flatten the dough out with your palms to roughly an inch high, and cut from that. Using a pint glass as my cutter I ended up with about 6 and a half biscuits. Also, make sure you aren't using expired baking powder that's been sitting in your cupboard for a decade. Finally, regarding \"using a tablespoon of baking powder instead of 3 teaspoons\" then blaming the recipe...there are no words, lol.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-02-27","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"OrangeElephant"},"reviewBody":"Made these this morning - I\u2019m not sure what these other reviewers did but mine rose beautifully and tasted great.

Tips I wish someone had told me years ago: Always check the date on your baking powder. Knead only using the tips of your fingers. Try not to handle the dough more than 7-8 times. Have your ingredients ready to go leaving butter in the fridge until you need it. If you are interrupted, put the mix in the fridge. Cold butter makes great biscuits. These were as pretty as they tasted.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-10-02","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"TRISCHA"},"reviewBody":"Flat, no taste, looks like a fluffy cookie not a biscuit.
