Homemade Biscuits from Scratch

Growing up, most of our family dinners consistently had one item on the table, Homemade Biscuits from Scratch. Nothing hit the spot like warm biscuits fresh out of the oven!

To be honest, I forgot about the beloved Homemade Biscuits from my childhood until I recently volunteered to host a large family dinner and started to do my menu prep.

Let’s just say they were as big of a hit now as they were years ago! My boys fought over the last one just like my brothers and I used to do. I felt a little guilty that I have been depriving my own boys of this scrumptious staple to dinner. Especially when they (including my husband) asked me why the heck I haven’t been making these everyday!

Needless to say, this recipe is definitely going into the weekly dinner rotation! Because of how simple this recipe is and the fact you most likely already have the ingredients right in your cupboard, you are going to love it! But most of all, you will love that little taste of the past!
