Breakfast Biscuits are warm, buttery, and flaky homemade biscuits that come together quickly with simple ingredients. Perfect for breakfast sandwiches, served with jam, or enjoyed plain, these golden biscuits are tender on the inside and crisp on the outside—true comfort food at its best.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk
  • Optional toppings: melted butter, honey, or jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add cold butter and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until coarse crumbs form.
  4. Gradually pour in milk or buttermilk, stirring just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 3–4 times.
  6. Pat dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle and cut out biscuits using a round cutter or glass.
  7. Arrange biscuits on the baking sheet—close together for soft sides or spaced apart for crisp edges.
  8. Bake 12–15 minutes until golden brown on top.
  9. Brush with melted butter if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use very cold butter for the flakiest texture.
  • Do not overmix—handle the dough gently for light, fluffy biscuits.
  • Chilling the dough before baking can help the biscuits rise higher.
  • Try flavor variations like cheddar-chive or cinnamon-sugar biscuits.
