About Flying biscuit

The Flying Biscuit is a fluffy, Southern-style creation crafted with a blend of flour, butter, milk, and leavening agents like baking powder. Its golden, tender texture embodies the charm of American Southern comfort food. Originating as a staple in Southern cuisine, this biscuit is often paired with jams, honey, or savory toppings. While rich in flavor, its nutritional profile includes refined flour and butter, contributing to higher calorie and saturated fat content. However, variations made with whole-grain flour or reduced-fat alternatives can boost fiber and lower fat, making it a more health-conscious option. Ideal in moderation, the Flying Biscuit provides satisfaction and energy but should be balanced with nutrient-dense accompaniments like lean protein or fresh vegetables for a wholesome meal.
