Biscuit Recipes

Biscuit recipes typically combine flour, a leavening agent (like baking powder), fat (such as butter or shortening), and a liquid (like milk) to create a tender, flaky bread. The process involves mixing these ingredients just enough to form a dough, then gently shaping it and cutting out biscuits. Proper cold fat and minimal handling help achieve a light, airy texture through layered flakiness. Baking at the right temperature ensures golden, moist biscuits. Variations can include buttermilk, cheese, herbs, or other flavorings to customize taste and texture.
