These super easy biscuits are sure to please any picky crowd. Great without any toppings, or the perfect sausage gravy in the morning, or just some fresh, homemade jam!
Preheat oven to 450 F.
Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter, until it is pea-sized. Mix egg and milk in a small bowl then pour into the dry mix. Stir together with a fork. Combine all the dry mix with the wet mixture until it forms a soft ball.
Turn out onto a floured counter. Pat down until it’s about 3/4″ thick (rolling will keep it from being flaky so use your hands). Using a biscuit cutter (or whatever you have handy), cut biscuits out and place on an ungreased pan.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and beautiful. Perfect for soups, breakfast, or just a yummy snack! Enjoy!
Please note: we live at 8500 feet, so I do add a little more flour—just enough for a soft dough—than the recipe calls for, and bake these closer to 14 minutes.

I made these biscuits last night and these are the best I have ever baked, ever. I am 61 years young and have been baking since I was 15 so I have experience! My family loved them and told me I have to make them again. I did a couple things different. I used buttermilk, let the dough sit for 10 minutes before cutting them out and when I put them on the floured surface I patted out the dough, folded into thirds, patted again, folded, repeat three times before cutting into rounds. I also made about an inch thick so I got 10 biscuits. They were absolutely delicious. I have been dieting for 7 months, this is only the 3rd time I have “cheated” on the diet, the 3rd time I’ve had bread in 7 months, but I couldn’t help it, the fluffy biscuit was just too tempting. Thank you for this awesome recipe.

I made these this past weekend to go with soup and had wonderful results. We all loved them! They were so flaky and full of wonderful flavor. We tried them with butter and apple butter- go great with anything!

After several tries with other recipes, I finally achieved fluffy biscuits with this one! Five mitts!

This has to be my favorite flavored biscuits out of all the recipes I’ve tried. A keeper, going in my recipe box!
