Cultural Note

These biscuits have roots in Southern cooking, where they are traditionally enjoyed alongside hearty meals. The technique of mixing in cold butter creates those lovely flaky layers that we all look for in a biscuit.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with a warm bowl of soup.
Serve alongside a hearty salad for a light lunch.
Enjoy with homemade jam or honey for breakfast.
Use in place of bread in a comforting sandwich.

Pro Tips for Success

Make sure your butter is very cold; this helps create fluffiness.
Don’t over-knead the dough; it should be mixed just until combined for tender biscuits.
For extra flavor, try adding herbs or cheese to the dough!

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5-10 minutes to keep that comforting freshness intact.
