Homemade Fluffy Biscuits are the best when enjoyed fresh from the oven. This recipe is simple and easy to make with ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen. The best part is they only take less than 30 minutes to prepare and cook.

I have worked over time to make a recipe for biscuits that, my very traditional southern husband, loves to eat. In the south making a good biscuit can make you a legend in your own family. Soft filling comfort food that is great served with honey, butter or my kids favorite, with sausage gravy. If you have never had a good homemade biscuit, you should watch the video and follow the detailed instructions below to find out for your self what all the fuss is about.

Traditional food from the different regions of the world are largely based on what type of ingredients are available there and what the culture is like. Soft fluffy southern style biscuits are no exception; as flour is used heavily in southern style foods from fried food to gravy, you will likely find flour somewhere near the cooking area as an enhancement to the food experience. No better way to experience what flour can do than having a delicious warm biscuit with some eggs and bacon to fill the eat. My favorite way to enjoy a fresh made biscuit is to cover it with some local honey and butter, it goes great with morning coffee or as a standalone snack.

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. In a large bowl: combine flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and cold butter. Use a pastry cutter or your hand to mix until it begins to form coarse crumbs. Add milk and knead the dough in the bowl for a few minutes. The dough will be sticky at first but once you knead everything it will be fine. If the dough is still sticky add 1 tbsp of flour and knead until it is no longer sticky. Food Processor: add flour, salt, sugar and mix everything together. Add cold butter and mix until it forms into crumbs. Add cold milk and mix. It’s going to be a little sticky.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Pat the dough out to ¾” to 1″ thick. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to shape 6 biscuits.

Then transfer to the baking sheet.

Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove biscuits from the oven. Brush melted butter over the top of the biscuits immediately. 2-3 tbsp melted butter
