Biscuits are made with very simple ingredients – flour, some sort of fat, a leavening agent, and liquid. Once baked, they’re flaky and fabulous. People also add their twist to a biscuit. Some like to add sausage and cheese or herbs for a more savory biscuit. Add sugar for a tad sweeter biscuit. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll pass by the canned biscuits and start to always make them at home. From sweet to savory, these 12 simple biscuit recipes are delicious.
