Prep Time7 minsCook Time25 minsTotal Time32 mins

If you’ve ever felt like biscuits were out of your wheelhouse, think again! Truly.
These are incredibly simple biscuits. All you have to remember is numbers 3-2-1… And the results are fluffy, buttery, melt in your mouth, biscuits.
Once you have the basic recipe down, feel free to mix add-ins to the dough; pieces of ham & cheese; fresh herbs; chives; cinnamon & sugar, etc.
Or, use them for a tasty fried chicken biscuit or smothered in creamy sausage gravy.

Prep time doesn’t include, mixing the ingredients together, so if you have them on hand it all comes together fast. If not, just factor a few extra minutes.
