I love these biscuits because they are simple to make and can be ready to devour in 20 minutes. They pair nicely with turkey chili or hamburger soup and also make a mean breakfast sandwich.

fast and easy biscuits made from scratch make the perfect addition to your thanksgiving or christmas dinner. They also make an amazing topper on soups and stews. Recipe from aileencooks.com.

I always have the ingredients on hand, so I can easily whip a batch of biscuits on a random Tuesday.

These fast and easy biscuits are so flaky and soft. It’s the same dough I used for my mess-free sloppy joe pockets I shared with you a few months ago.

The biscuits are also freezer friendly, so you can totally double a batch and throw 1/2 in your freezer to go with one of your freezer meals or to defrost on a busy night when a can of soup is on the menu.

If you want to make extra flavorful biscuits, try our recipe for Cheddar Bay Biscuits.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add in the cold butter and mix together with a fork until the flour forms little pea sized crumbles.
Slowly mix in the milk until a dough forms.
Knead 8-10 times and turn out onto a floured surface.
Roll the biscuit dough 1/4 inch thick and use the top of a glass (or cookie cutter) to cut out 2 inch rounds of dough.
Once you run out of cutting space, squish the biscuit dough back into a ball and roll out and cut again.
Bake on the greased cookie sheet for 12 minutes.
