These homemade biscuits are a staple in our household. You’ll soon find that they are a must-have for your family table as well.
I call these the “Winning” biscuits because for 18 years I had tried various biscuit recipes, never finding THE recipe that would work. They always came out hard, dense, floury-tasting, and just plain icky! The best biscuits that were made in this household, were out of a bag from the freezer section of the store.
Sad, I know.
But I kept searching and finally decided to play around and make some alterations, and AT LAST! Perseverance paid off.
In our house, we finally had a winner! These biscuits are crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and make a regular appearance around here. And best of all, no special trips to the dairy section for buttermilk.

These biscuits are perfect whether they are drizzled with Chocolate Gravy or topped with a Classic Sausage Gravy.

“Winning” Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 c all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tb sugar
- ⅓ c cold butter
- ¾ c whole milk, plus 2-3 Tb more
Instructions
- To begin, preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Cut the butter into pieces and drop into the flour mixture. With a pastry blender, fork, or knives, cut the butter into the mixture until all of the butter pieces are smaller than a pea.
- Stir in 3/4 c of the milk and add 2-3 Tb more as needed to just mix together the dough.
- On a floured surface, pat out the dough mixture to a smooth flat shape, about 3/4 inch thick. With a biscuit cutter or glass, cut biscuits, placing them on a baking stone/baking sheet. Form the scraps together and re-cut biscuits.
- Take the final scraps and form them into a biscuit by hand. This usually makes around 10 biscuits, depending on how you pat out the dough.
- Bake for about 10-13 minutes, or until just golden on top.
- Enjoy!

These biscuits taste so much like the wonderful biscuits that my aunt’s maid fixed when I was a child. I’m thrilled to have found a recipe that replicate her biscuits. What is your recommended way to reheat these biscuits after removing from the freezer?
