This Basic Biscuit Recipe is made in one bowl with only three ingredients. They’re buttery, flaky, and soft on the inside, and lightly crispy on the outside.

These Southern-style homemade buttermilk biscuits just may be the perfect biscuit!

Biscuits are a classic Southern staple for breakfast. They’re simple to make with just three ingredients but taste extraordinary.

They are excellent split and slathered with butter, smothered in white gravy, or served with eggs and grits. However, don’t underestimate the flavor nuances of eating these buttermilk biscuits plain, pulling them apart layer by layer, and indulging in their simplicity!

BASIC BISCUIT RECIPE

I’ve been using this basic biscuit recipe since I was young and decided I was going to make biscuits one day when my mother wasn’t home. I didn’t have a recipe back then. I just put ingredients in the bowl until it looked like the amounts she put in there. For such I long time, I had to make them in the very same bowl every time.😋

What do I serve with Buttermilk Biscuits?

You can serve biscuits with either sweet or savory fillings. Here are a few ideas…

  • White or brown gravy
  • Chocolate gravy
  • Blueberry Jalapeno Jam, Strawberry Jam, or any jam or jelly
  • Syrup (try a good Maple Syrup)
  • Butter
  • Honey
  • Cheese or pimento cheese
  • Bacon
  • Sausage
  • Ham

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup shortening I have to use Crisco
