This is such an easy recipe. You don’t even have to roll out any dough or use biscuit cutters. And y’all know I’m all about easy during those busy weeknights.

DO I NEED A BISCUIT CUTTER?

No biscuit cutter needed! I’ve also slightly modified it since I’ve started making these. I started using buttermilk instead of milk and I doubled the ingredients so that they come out thicker. We absolutely love them. They come out so big and fluffy. Now, you can certainly cut this recipe in half if you’d like a smaller and thinner biscuit. But big and fluffy is how I roll.

You won’t get it perfectly even, but hey, that’s okay, these are homemade, remember? Some of the butter will run over the top of the dough, that’s perfectly okay. Cut the dough into 9 squares. This will help with cutting later when they are done too.

Bake for about 20-25 minutes, rotating dish once during baking.

Oven times do vary since different ovens have different hot spots, but basically biscuits should be golden brown on top and spring back to the touch.
