Here's why -

Everybody loves a warm, fresh out of the oven, fluffy biscuit! There is just something super comforting and homey about them. Maybe it’s because you watched your grandma making them and she served them up with the homemade jam she made earlier in the year. Or maybe it’s because they seem to come from a simpler time when all the family gathered around the table for supper, before the harried lifestyles and schedules of today that too often keep us from getting together for eating at all, let alone delicious homemade food!

Simple, buttery biscuits go with almost any meal, whether it’s the classic buttermilk biscuit that was always served at our home, or something a little gussied-up like the bacon-cheddar or sweet potato biscuits that we offer up here. The basics of all biscuits are the same and we will teach you the secrets here in a jiffy.

Many of y’all may already know what a biscuit is, but for those not yet graced with the knowledge of such deliciousness…

A brief biscuit primer -

A biscuit is a quick bread; one of the quickest we know, in fact! They are leavened with baking powder or baking soda or both, take just a few ingredients, and can be made from start to finish in just about half and hour. You can add pretty much whatever flavors might tickle your fancy as long as you follow a few simple rules along the way. You can either put stuff right in the dough to flavor them up, or simply split them down the middle and fill with whatever your little heart desires to make a scrumptious biscuit sandwich.

We’re going to give you some quick and easy recipes that will help you get a batch of fresh, hot biscuits on your table any time. Just click on the pretty pictures below for more information. How about starting right now?
