Easy Biscuit Recipe

Easy Biscuit Recipe – these are the perfect homemade biscuits. Light, fluffy, tender, buttery, and delicious. Make in minutes any night of the week. 

I love biscuits. Like, seriously love biscuits. When I was in high school I worked at Hardee’s. Back then we made the biscuits from scratch every day, multiple times a day. And more than once I was the one that made them.

You would think that would have killed my love, but it didn’t. There is just something about soft and flaky homemade biscuits. But sometimes they can take awhile, or don’t turn out perfectly. So this  drop biscuit recipe is perfect for making at home quickly.

This summer I had the chance to go to Kansas with Certified Angus Beef.  There, we had a dinner out on the prairie cooked by Chef Kent Rollins.  You may have seen him on Food Network. In the afternoon before dinner, we had a homemade biscuits competition. There we used a sour dough starter to make them, made the tradition fluffy biscuits shape, and they were cooked over an open fire.

Well at home, I am all about easy. So this drop biscuit recipe is more my speed. This is similar to the baking powder biscuits that everyone grew up with and knows. But better.  The tops are brushed with butter after they come out of the oven to give them a little something special.  Or you could try homemade Cheddar Bay Biscuits too!

This easy biscuit recipe comes together in about 5 minutes, and then you just bake them. So they can be made any night of the week.  I like to serve with our favorite soups. They are great with Chicken Gnocchi Soup.

Just look at these babies – baked to golden brown perfection. Plus so flaky and light on the inside. It really doesn’t get any better than this.  My son would love if I made some sausage gravy to pour over the top for breakfast. But that hasn’t happened yet.

You can put dinner in the crock pot in the morning, like this Ham & Bean Soup. Then when you come home, you can whip these up in 15 minutes. and dinner is done!  A perfect comforting meal any night of the week.

I love this easy biscuit recipe made with buttermilk for a little bit of tang in the background, but if you don’t have any, don’t worry. They work with any kind of milk and are just as flaky and tasty.  So the next time you are looking for a quick side dish, remember these homemade biscuits!
