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.

Watch Me Make These Baking Soda Biscuits:
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.
This recipe makes 10-12 biscuits, depending upon the size of your biscuits.
Try these with some classic sausage gravy, or my Creamed Turkey Recipe.
