Ingredients for Easy Biscuits

¾ cup MILK (we use almond milk in the video)
2 Tbsp OIL
up to 2 cups ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
2 tsp BAKING POWDER
1 tsp SALT
2-3 tsp SUGAR optional

Quick Biscuit Recipe

  • In a bowl, whisk together milk, oil, salt, and baking powder. You can also add a few tsp of sugar if you desire, but that’s optional.
  • Slowly add flour into the mix ¼ cup at a time. You’ll probably use between 1½ and 2 cups of flour. Turn the flour into the wet ingredients until a doughy ball forms, but do not overmix or overwork the dough.
  • Using your hand, pinch and divide the large dough ball into 6 equal sizes of dough and arrange on a lightly greased baking pan or parchment paper.
  • You can lightly flour your fingers while dividing the dough. Do not press or shape the dough more than needed. The biscuits might not win a beauty contest, but they’ll be light and fluffy if the biscuit dough is not handled overly much.
  • For darker biscuits, you can lightly brush the dough with milk, but this is optional.
  • Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 350˚F and bake for about 20 minutes.
  • Enjoy!

Cheese Biscuits with Bacon and Jalapeno

cheese biscuits

This Cheese Biscuits recipe makes four good-size biscuits, which is plenty for two folks for breakfast (maybe even 4 people, if one of them isn’t me).

Ingredients for Cheese Biscuits

1 cup ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
2 tsp BAKING POWDER
1/4 tsp SALT
1/2 cup MILK
1 JALAPENO pepper (chopped)
4 slices BACON (cooked crispy, crumbled)
1/2 cup CHEDDAR CHEESE (shredded)

The recipe doubles quite easily if you want to make a bigger batch.

How to make Cheese Bacon Biscuits

First thing, fry up your bacon and set aside to cool. You’ll want it crisp enough to crumble. Slice your jalapeno (seeds and all) and saute for a minute or two in the bacon grease, this’ll flavor it up, start to cook it up, and knock off a little of the heat. Set pepper aside on a paper towel to drain.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and then cut in the shortening. Add shredded cheese, sauted pepper, and crumbled bacon and mix. Slowly add milk, turning the mixture, getting the loose flour to come together into clumps. On a floured surface, turn the clumped dough out of the bowl and knead gently approx. a dozen times.

Form into biscuits–I just make a big pie shape and cut it into four pieces cause I’m lazy (or brilliant). Brush biscuit tops with melted butter, if desired. I can take of leave this move–the biscuits will have plenty of color from the bacon, cheese, and jalapenos.

Place biscuits on an ungreased sheet and bake at 425 degrees F for 13-15 minutes. Check here for current prices for baking sheets on Amazon.
And there you have it. Give this Cheese Biscuits recipe a try and let me know what you think, and bon appetit!
