Homemade biscuits are a classic comfort food with roots in Southern American cuisine, often enjoyed as a staple at breakfast or dinner. These flaky, golden treats are typically made with simple ingredients like flour, baking powder, butter, milk, and a pinch of salt. The result is a soft, airy texture perfect for pairing with jams, honey, or savory gravies. While their simplicity is appealing, biscuits can be high in refined carbohydrates and saturated fats due to the use of white flour and butter. They lack significant fiber or protein, making them less ideal as a stand-alone food for sustained energy. However, homemade versions allow control over ingredients—whole-grain flour or plant-based fats can make them a slightly healthier option. Moderation and mindful preparation can help balance their indulgent qualities while preserving their signature taste and charm.
