Homemade biscuits are a classic staple in Southern cuisine, revered for their buttery, flaky texture and comforting taste. Made from simple ingredients like all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, butter or shortening, and milk or buttermilk, these biscuits are quick to prepare and rely on the chemical reaction between the leavening agent and liquid for their signature puff. While delicious, they tend to be high in refined carbohydrates and fats, making them less suited for those seeking nutrient-dense options. However, adjustments such as using whole-grain flour, reducing the butter content, or adding seeds can boost fiber and overall nutrition. Traditionally served with savory gravies or sweet spreads, homemade biscuits are versatile but should be enjoyed in moderation for a balanced diet.
