There’s just something about simple baking soda biscuits that are just so delicious.

They are very similar to a classic baking powder biscuit recipe. Not only are they light and airy, but they are so simple to make, you’ll never want the dough from a can again.

If you don’t have a biscuit cutter, you can use a similarly sized glass or even a coffee mug. Whatever you use, you want to make sure it is well floured that way the biscuit comes right out.
