20 Minute Homemade Biscuits

Ā  Ā I call these the 20 Minute Homemade Biscuits… I’ve made these countless times over the years … They are by far one of the fastest bread sides I’ve come across… and they can darn near be added to any meal! Ā I found these biscuits through allrecipes … and I’ve made them with both butter or shortening and they turn out perfect either way!

WeĀ love these biscuits… they melt in your mouth! Ā Not only that but they take 20 minutes to make from start to finish!! Ā Sure beats those tubes of biscuits you pick up in the refrigerated section at the grocery store… Ā How fresh are those?? Ā See any ingredients on the back you can’t even sound out??? Ā And then compare to price for one tube to this recipe… Pennies on the dollar!

Its a win win!! Ā šŸ™‚

You could totally use a biscuit cutter and cut them out... But I just like to slice them so there no wasted dough at the end!

  1. I have made your recipe before and loved it! I am curious if it will still work if lessening salt to be lower in sodium?
