About Square biscuits

Square Biscuits are a versatile baked good, often associated with Southern American cuisine, known for their flaky layers and golden crust. Traditionally made from a mix of flour, baking powder, butter or shortening, and milk or buttermilk, their square shape maximizes yield when cutting dough. Rich in carbohydrates, they provide a quick energy source, while butter or shortening contributes fats that enhance their iconic texture and flavor. While delicious, Square Biscuits are generally low in fiber and can be high in saturated fat, making moderation key. To boost their nutritional value, whole-grain flour and low-fat milk alternatives can be used. Commonly served as a side dish, sandwich base, or with sweet toppings like jam, they are a comforting addition to a variety of meals.
