Butter biscuits are a classic baked treat, often associated with Southern American cuisine and comfort food traditions. They are typically made from simple ingredients including flour, butter, milk or cream, baking powder, and salt. The butter gives them their rich flavor and flaky texture, while the baking powder helps them rise to a light, airy consistency. While they are beloved for their indulgent taste, butter biscuits are relatively high in saturated fats and refined carbohydrates, making them a less healthy option when consumed in excess. That said, they provide basic energy from carbohydrates and, depending on recipe variations like added whole grains or reduced butter, can be slightly more nutritious. Butter biscuits are versatile, often served as a side with meals, topped with jams or gravies, or used as a base for dishes like strawberry shortcake. Moderation is key to enjoying their comforting taste without overindulging.
