Notes
Additions
you could add ¼ cup chopped green onions, mushrooms, diced bacon, or shredded sharp cheddar cheese for cheddar biscuits.Notes
You could use a biscuit cutter instead of a mason jar, the sharp edge of a glass, or even cookie cutters to cut biscuits. You could use parchment paper if you don't want to grease the cookie sheet. These biscuits make great breakfast sandwiches. Add a fried egg, bacon, and a slice of cheese, then heat them up in a cast iron skillet. Or next time, serve them with sausage gravy. Don't like to get your hands greasy with butter? Use a pastry cutter if you prefer. If you have any biscuits left, yes, you could wrap them in plastic wrap or an airtight container and store them at room temperature. But honestly, this is such a great recipe, and it makes the best biscuits. I doubt you'll have any left!Nutrition
