Easy Fast Biscuit Recipe

The best biscuits from scratch in under 20 minutes with about 3 minutes of that being hands on time for my family of 7? yes please. These biscuits are not just for weekends. Throw these together quickly and easily, pop them in the oven and focus on whatever else you want to focus on while they cook! Fast, easy, healthy and delicious-that's the kind of recipes this mama loves! I'm sure this will be a staple recipe the whole family will love.

Notes

  • Make cheddar biscuits by adding in a 1/2 cup shredded cheddar. 
  • Use this recipe for dumplings 
  • Biscuits are fantastic as a dinner side dish as well (especially warm chicken soups and chicken dinners)
  • Make them sweeter by adding a tsp honey. Leave the honey out if you prefer regular biscuits. 
  • Cut liquid down by 1/4 cup and add in 1/4 cup cream style corn for corn biscuits.
