5 Ingredient Biscuits

Jump to Recipe

With Fall officially here, and Thanksgiving quickly approaching, I wanted to share this super simple 5 Ingredient Biscuits recipe because everyone needs a go-to biscuits recipe!  I typically think of warm cozy biscuits as a cold weather food and a perfect side dish on Thanksgiving, but of course they’re great all year long, even during the Summer for picnics, which is why it’s so important to have a good recipe that you know you can always turn to, like this one.

Some people are intimidated by making biscuits and turn to pre-made refrigerated ones, which are fine, but you just can’t beat flaky, homemade biscuits.  And I wanted to come up with and share a biscuit recipe that isn’t intimidating and is simple enough for everyone to follow.

The most difficult part of this 5 ingredient biscuits recipe is cutting shortening into the flour, and that’s mostly only because not everyone has a pastry blender.  A pastry blender is really easy to find, and incredibly useful to have around (I use mine for most non-yeast breads, pie crust, even some muffins and cupcakes!).  You can grab one here on Amazon. You can also get a similar cutting effect using a fork or 2 knives.  You can even pulse it in a food processor until pea-sized clumps form.

To cut biscuits into circles, you can use these biscuit cutters, if you’d like. But, honestly, I just use a drinking glass most of the time.
