There are so many reasons why I love these homemade biscuits. First of all, they are super easy to make and no special equipment (like a rolling pin or biscuit cutter is needed.
It takes no more than 15 or 20 minutes to make them from mixing the dough to pulling them out of the oven. Then once they are done they are moist and flaky and so tasty (c’mon, look at the picture—you know you want one!).
Whole Wheat Biscuits
And the best part is that they freeze and reheat beautifully (I just throw the frozen biscuits in the toaster oven on the bake setting). So make a big batch, freeze a bunch in a gallon zip lock freezer bag, and then the next time you want to add a biscuit to your breakfast, lunch or dinner they are ready to go.
It honestly couldn’t be easier…so go ahead and throw away that refrigerated tube of dough you bought from the grocery store!
This biscuit recipe is so quick and easy – plus it has only 5 ingredients!
In a medium sized bowl combine the dry ingredients. Mix well with whisk or fork.
Using a fork or pastry blender, try to mash the butter pieces as you mix it together with the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. It is okay if the outcome just looks like the same pea sized pieces of butter covered with flour
Then pour in the milk and mix it all together. Knead the dough with your hands 8 to 10 times (for best results do not over-knead the dough) and then turn out onto a floured surface (like a counter or cutting board).
If you like buttermilk biscuits, use buttermilk in place of regular milk.

Thanks for sharing this recipe. My husband is crazy about biscuits so I just had to make them. Your recipe is easy to make but still tastes good. I’m already making my second batch
It was my first time making biscuits from scratch but it won’t be my last. The biscuits were good but they did not come out looking anything like those in the picture. The dough was very sticky and did not want to cooperate with my cup cut out I literally could not get the biscuit shape off the cutting board in tact. So I have globs of delicious biscuits more like big spoons. Will definitely try this again
Dust your cup with flour before every cup. Flawless results.
Thanks will try this!!
Yayy!! So good! My modifications:
+a bit more SALT
+a bit of widely SHREDDED CHEESE (I used cheddar)
+a bit of JALEPEÑOS or a good amount of FRESH CHIVES
+a tiny bit of POWDERED GARLIC
-I did use the BUTTERMILK instead of regular mild as suggested.
I also used parchment paper when cooking but that’s only because my oven is an ancient monster that gets way too hot from below! and I didn’t add flour to the mixture even though it was sticky but I did flour the cutting board you use to flatten it.
