About Butter biscuit

Butter biscuits are classic baked goods, known for their soft, flaky texture and rich, buttery flavor. Originating from Southern United States cuisine, these biscuits are typically made from simple ingredients like flour, butter, milk or buttermilk, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. The high butter content gives them their signature tenderness but also makes them calorie-dense and rich in saturated fats. While butter biscuits provide energy and small amounts of calcium (especially if made with buttermilk), they are low in fiber and protein, offering limited nutritional value. For a healthier option, some recipes swap in whole-grain flours or incorporate alternative fats. Butter biscuits are often enjoyed as a side to savory dishes like fried chicken or topped with jams and gravies, offering their warm, comforting taste as a versatile addition to many meals. Moderation is key to appreciating their flavor while managing nutritional intake.
