I love bread so when I get a hold of a bread recipe, I lock it up tight. These are really good and are one of my favorite type of biscuits. Note that I said biscuits, not rolls. There is a difference! These Kentucky Biscuits are a cowboy favorite and one that I used all the time when we worked at the Quien Sabe Ranch. I also like to serve them for my family in a pretty pie plate but just a square dish would work too! Are you like me? Do you hoard bread recipes? If you prefer rolls, check these dinner rolls out!
VERY easy to make and they are so delicious!!! You MUST add them to your recipe box! They’ll be family favorite as soon as they taste the first bite!
I hope you all enjoy! If you want it as a sweeter treat, just add more sugar and eat it with honey! OH YEAH!
- 2 cups flour
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- dash of salt
- ½ cup butter
- ¾ cup buttermilk, Don't have buttermilk? No prob, just add 1 or 2 Tbls of vinegar to milk.
- Mix dry ingredients.
- Cut in butter, add milk and knead into soft dough. Do not over knead!
- Pat into an ungreased 6x6 pan. I use a pie pan myself so you can use whatever.
- Cut into serving size portions before you cook.
- Bake at 400' for 15 to 20 minutes or until done and golden brown.
I made there Kentucky Biscuits today and they are great! Even my husband who doesn’t like biscuits eat some. They are so easy to make and I will be making them more often.
These are terrific! So quick and easy, melt in your mouth! Have made them twice now and a huge success.
How did I not know about this recipe? I have lived in Kentucky for five years and hadn’t heard of it! Thanks for sharing Lori :)
These are excellent. So easy! Made these tonight, and we loved them. I used a Pie. Plate as you did, great. This recipe is a keeper.
I just made these biscuits and let me tell you, my husband and i could not stop eating them!!!!!! They were so light. My husband likes small biscuits { like the small ones in the can } so i patted the dough out and used a small cutter, put alittle bacon grease in my cast iron pan and put my little biscuits in it. and presto! little biscuits!!!!! NO MORE CANNED BISCUITS FOR US!
My God, these are good! I’ve already eaten two out of the pan, and now I’m planning what I can make to go with them, so I can make them again soon! Thank you for sharing!
Biscuit making is one of my fondest memories of my Gramma. I have never made biscuits before. I tried this recipe today. I think I was worried about over kneading and maybe didn’t knead enough. Anyway, mine weren’t anywhere near as pretty as yours. I going to try again when I’m home alone! Any suggestions for a first timer?
By far *THE BEST* biscuits this non-biscuit-maker has ever made! I used 2% milk with recommended vinegar & it really looked like buttermilk. I am in awe, I love to cook but at 45 I had never made one single batch of edible biscuits, much less ones where people were fighting over seconds! This is my new essential go-to recipe! Thank you for sharing & making our lives better by BISCUITS!! ❤️ I’d post a pic if I could figure out how!
i love you you say note biscuits not rolls… to anyone in the rest of the world a biscuit ( from the French for baked twice) is crispy flat and usually sweet…what you call a ” cookie”. now these Kentucky ‘biscuits ‘ are what we call scones. and yes… very yummy. thanks for sharing the recipe. one day I’ll post a rusk recipe… our breakfast speciality. Hard and dry… you dunk them in tea or coffee. delicious
Do you use white or cider vinegar when making your milk into buttermilk.
I have everything except buttermilk. I used to be able to make biscuits, but I stopped making them. I got up to 209. But my husband and son love the biscuits. Now I weigh 121lbs. Guess everything in moderation. And thanks for sharing. They look yummy ?
Your ingredients list butter,yet the picture shows margarine. So you used margarine?
