    Learn how to make a flaky homemade biscuit recipe without buttermilk. Just five simple ingredients in this easy homemade biscuit recipe: flour, salt, butter, baking powder, and milk. Follow my simple steps to achieve perfect biscuits every time.

    One of my absolute favorite breakfasts growing up was biscuits and gravy. So satisfying on a Saturday morning eating a warm flaky biscuit slathered with homemade gravy. While I have fond memories of popping the canned biscuits, there's just nothing like homemade. Biscuits made from scratch are the best biscuits. You just can't beat fluffy biscuits with flaky layers.

    Why are homemade biscuits better than canned?

    • Superior Taste

    I will put my homemade biscuits against a canned biscuit any day. You can not beat the taste of homemade. They are rich, salty, buttery, flaky, and soft on the inside. All of these just qualities you just can't get with a canned biscuit.

    • Better Ingredients

    The leading canned biscuit on the market contains these ingredients:

    ENRICHED FLOUR BLEACHED (WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, FERROUS SULFATE, THIAMIN MONONITRATE, RIBOFLAVIN, FOLIC ACID), WATER, PALM AND SOYBEAN OIL, SUGAR, PALM KERNEL OIL, BAKING POWDER (SODIUM ACID PYROPHOSPHATE, BAKING SODA, SODIUM ALUMINUM PHOSPHATE). CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF: DEXTROSE, SALT, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, XANTHAN GUM.

    To me, there are too many additives that I don't like to feed my family. My homemade biscuits only contain five simple ingredients that you likely already have on hand: flour, salt, baking powder, butter, and milk.

    Do you have to use buttermilk in biscuits?

    While homemade buttermilk biscuits are great, buttermilk just is not an ingredient that I readily keep on hand.

    In spite of what you may have heard, no, you do not have to use buttermilk to make delicious homemade biscuits.

    Buttermilk imparts flavor, but by using a high quality butter and plenty of salt, these biscuits have plenty of flavor. It also provides acidity to help biscuits rise, but we are fixing that with a little extra baking powder. Buttermilk also is said to produce a tender biscuit, but I find milk works just as well. I like using an Irish butter with a high fat content and whole milk to still achieve flavorful tender biscuits.

    So in short, no you do not have to use buttermilk or even a buttermilk substitute like milk and lemon juice.

    Ingredients needed

    The best part about this biscuit recipe is that it uses five basic ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry.

    • all purpose flour: I like to use an organic unbleached all purpose flour to avoid glyphosate and other additives. I purchase mine in bulk from Azure Standard. You could also substitute an all purpose 1 to 1 gluten-free flour. Do not use a self-rising flour because we our using our own leavening agent.
    • salt: I use a mineral sea salt from Redmond Real Salt.
    • baking powder: Just regular baking powder works great or use a corn starch free baking powder if you can't eat corn.
    • butter: I love salted Irish grass fed butter like Kerrygold or the Aldi Irish butter.
    • cold regular milk: Whole milk works best in my opinion, but you could also try a milk substitute.

    How do you make easy homemade biscuits without buttermilk?

    This recipe is so easy and does not require fancy equipment like a food processor to make. You basically just need a bowl, something to cut the butter, and your hands.

    First you mix your dry ingredients together in a large bowl: all purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.

    Cut up your very cold butter into small pieces and place into flour mixture. Alternatively, you could grate your butter using a cheese grater.

    Next, using a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands, cut in your butter into the flour. That's a fancy way of saying smash together the butter and flour mixture until it is well combined. The butter should look like the size of peas in the flour.

    Then pour in your milk and mix just enough for it to come together into a crumbly dough. Do not over mix your biscuit dough or you may end up with tough biscuits.

    Turn dough out onto your countertop and smash together into a thick rectangle.

    Then you are going to do a series of 4-5 folds and smashes to create layers and flaky biscuits. Fold the dough in half and smash. Repeat 4 times.

    Then using your hands, press out dough until it is about ¾ inch thick. Using a round biscuit cutter or a glass, press straight down and pull straight up to cut the biscuits. Do not twist.

    It should make about 9-10 small biscuits.

    Place biscuits on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Bake biscuits in a preheated 425 degree hot oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown on the top. Do not over bake, so keep an eye on them.

    What to serve with homemade biscuits?

    Well in my opinion, biscuits call for homemade Southern sausage gravy. My recipe is simple and again only requires a few ingredients.

    You could also make biscuits sandwiches. Some topping options include:

    • bacon
    • egg
    • ham or Canadian bacon
    • cheese
    • avocado
    • spinach

    I also love serving hot biscuits with a good quality butter, jam, honey, or apple butter. So simple and delicious!

        Aww so sorry to hear that your biscuits didn't turn out. I've never had mine turn out like bricks and I have been making this exact recipe for years. Did you watch the video? If you try biscuits again, here are some possible things to look out for next time.

        Old baking powder: Baking powder that has lost its freshness will not allow the dough to rise potentially leading to dense hard biscuits.

        Overworking the dough: If for some reason the dough was overworked, it will get tough. The fold technique helps build layers in the biscuits. The dough should be somewhat shaggy and barely together before starting the folds.

        Warm butter: Make sure the butter is very cold to start. If it's warm or melted it could lead to less tender biscuits. Also make sure that the butter when cut in to the flour is about the size of peas. You still want some butter chunks. This helps build layer and tenderness as well.

        Fat content of milk: Make sure that you're not using skim milk. Mine is whole milk.

        Pre-heat your oven and don't overbake: Make sure your oven is nice and hot before you put the biscuits in and take care to not cook them too long.

        Here's to better success next time!

            I have never tried to freeze it, but I imagine it would freeze well. If I was freezing it, I would go ahead and cut out all of the biscuits before freezing.

              I made these last night and they were awesome! I didn’t fold them in layers like the recipe said. I didn’t use a biscuit cutter either. Once I got the thickness I wanted I cut them and shaped them with my hands and I got 12 not 9. They tasted just like growing up and my husband ate 5! Totally saving this recipe. Thank you❤️

        What a horrible comment I saw. People these days are so hateful. I thought these were wonderful, especially for making biscuits for the first time! They came out tasty and NOT as hard as bricks. I was very careful to follow the instructions and not overwork the dough. I was so surprised that the layering actually works! I'm excited to make them again this morning.

            These came out AMAZING! I followed advice on here (used frozen milk and butter, cut with mason jar lid to make it easy to push out the biscuits). The biscuits have a nice crisp golden brown outside and are soft and fluffy inside. It's flaky, but doesn't fall apart! These will go perfectly with my turkey drumstick homemade gravy. Yayyyy, I know how to make biscuits thanks to this fabulous recipe ❤. Thank you!!!

            They would be great if they didn't call for a full tablespoon of baking soda. I had to keep rechecking that that's actually what was called for. They're buttery, and the texture is fine, but the taste of baking soda is so intense.

              I'm afraid you misread the recipe, Sam. They call for baking powder, which is different from baking soda. A tablespoon of baking powder would definitely taste very intense and not pleasant.

        Heavenly little pillows of fluffy flakey buttery yumness. This is an amazing recipe! For the person who made the the bricks...please give this another try. I usually put my milk in the freezer as well as my butter. I mix the dry ingredients then once milk and butter are super cold I will use a cheese grater to shred the butter into the flour while tossing so it doesn't stick. Add the super cold milk and gently incorporate once a dough forms lay it onto a flour dusted surface and begin folding process lightly dusting with flour if sticky. Complete about 6 to 8 folds and then press or roll out the dough..I use a wide mouth mason jar to cut my biscuits! Then continue with baking. Hope these little tips help because this recipe is absolutly amazing 👏 . I didn’t have any buttermilk so I gave this recipe a go. Thank you, my family loves these and it was so quick and easy!

        I can’t say thank you enough for such an amazing and simple recipe. I doubled and made twice the amount. They came out perfect perfectly saltine, but I just like you said they are fluffy with layers, and I could not be happier accomplishing this correctly has really made my day. Thank you thank you thank you I hope thank you again I can’t wait to busters bad boys out and for the rest of my life I will be able to say that I know how to make homemade biscuits. Thanks to you.

            I've never tried these biscuits for something like that, so I can't say for certain. I'm pretty sure they would work for chicken and dumplings. I have never made a bubble up chicken so I'm not familiar enough with that to give advice.

            I have used this recipe twice for a chicken pot pie bake my husband I love and it works perfectly. I follow the recipe exactly and place the cut biscuit dough on top of the “pot pie” filling (all chicken and veggie ingredients pre-cooked) in my 9x13, bake at 425 until the biscuits are golden brown. It’s delicious!

        The only thing I can say is to give it a try and see how it works. My instinct says they wouldn't puff up as much to create as many layers but they would still taste fine. It would also require longer baking time. Good luck.

        This was my first time making biscuits EVER! The dough came out SUPER crazy sticky, and I almost gave up. I think it was because I took too long mixing up the ingredients and the butter melted maybe? I added more flour, but it was still so sticky that I just ripped up the dough into balls and baked them that way. I really thought this was going to go down in history as the nastiest biscuits ever (because of user error, not recipe error), but they WEREN'T! They were SO GOOD! Ugly as sin, perhaps, but still so tasty. My fiancé and I are inhaling them as we speak. Since I wasn't able to fold them due to the stickiness, there weren't any layers. But they were still so tender and delicious. Thank you for providing such a great recipe that's friendly for complete beginners like me! If anyone has any tips or suggestions to not make dough that doubles as super-glue, I'd love to hear it!

        Is this supposed to be a tablespoon or teaspoon of baking soda? Your recipe says tablespoon but the resulting biscuits were salty/slightly bitter. Other than that they came out perfect!

          It is supposed to be a tablespoon of baking powder and not baking soda. Baking soda will impart a different flavor and will definitely be bitter and salty.

        I made these biscuits trying to follow your instructions and they came out horrible!! Didn't rise, and were hard semi flat discs. I didn't have time to watch your video before preparing them for dinner, (which shouldn't be a problem) so I just followed your ridiculous instructions of forming the dough into a LONG rectangle and folding it in half and SMASHING it 4 to 5 times. After watching your video, you DO NOT do what you say in your instructions! YOU DON'T FORM INTO A LONG RECTANGLE nor do you say to SMASH THE DOUGH! Which I didn't understand that term in your written instructions. And you don't add that you won't be able to cut out all 9 biscuits and have to fold the excess dough again. Needless to say, you do things totally different in your video than you state in your written instructions.
        I've never come across such terrible instructions and such inconsistencies between written instructions and the video!!

          She never said long rectangle. She says in her instructions a large rectangle and in her video she says a manageable rectangle to start folding over 4-5 times. So either you don’t know how to read or you don’t know how to follow instructions all together. It’s a vet simple and easy recipe to follow. I don’t even bake and this was the only biscuit recipe I’ve ever made and it was easy to make and amazing biscuits came out of it.

      I just finished eating two of these biscuits and have to say this was the best recipe. I've never had much success making biscuits. My mother wasn't much of a cook, so I pretty much taught myself through the years. (In fact, we had a deal when I was a kid...I cooked, and she did housework.) I should have watched your video first but just following the recipe worked fine. I watched the video afterwards and it assured me that I did things right. BTW, I'm 68 so old dogs can learn new tricks!

      Thank You!

            I can’t say thank you enough for such an amazing and simple recipe. I doubled and made twice the amount. They came out perfect perfectly salty fluffy and buttery just like you said they are fluffy with layers, and I could not be happier accomplishing this correctly has really made my day. Thank you thank you thank you I hope thank you again I can’t wait to busters bad boys out and for the rest of my life I will be able to say that I know how to make homemade biscuits. Thanks to you.

      The biscuits came out very soft but when I bit into them it tasted only like flour. Followed the recipe to a T! Will try again, maybe it was my error but disappointed.

        Interesting. Another commenter said they were too salty. lol I wonder if perhaps you forgot salt? I can't imagine them being flavorless. I'm glad they came out very soft at least.

      Hey… these were really good! I followed the recipe as written and was very happy with the simplicity and the result. Light and fluffy with a slightly crispy crust (due to the copious amount of butter, no doubt). I’ve done a lot of recipe testing over the years and I think anyone whose biscuits turned out like “bricks,” likely but inadvertently used too much flour. While you’ll never get as accurate a measurement from a measuring cup as you would a scale, you can get close if you spoon the flour from the container into the cup and then level off with a knife. That or they over-baked the biscuits. I took mine out at 12-13 minutes and they were perfect. Thanks for the recipe. It’s one I will return to, for sure.

      I made your recipe this morning. I used carnation evaporated milk and water 1/2 each. I put parchment paper in my cast iron skillet (after cutting to circle).
      Then I just put the dough in and press a little to spread.
      (Called cat head by some.
      Turned out great!!!! Thank you.

      Best Biscuit recipe ever! I made these for a family brunch and they were a huge hit! Now for my nephews graduation party I was asked by a few different people if I would bring the biscuits lol and tomorrow for dinner I'm making fried chicken and these awesome biscuits and homemade butter on them that I just made and I can't wait to make the biscuits! Thanks so much for giving us this awesome recipe!! My mama used to make biscuits like these when I was a little girl, and she has early onset dementia and I thought I would never get to taste them again and your recipe is the closest to hers as I have found in along time! Thanks again for posting this! Blessings!

      My husband grew up on homemade biscuits & gravy. I had gave up trying to make homemade biscuits. They always turned out like hockey puck, lol! I was overworking the dough.
      I watched your video, several times, followed your recipe exactly & surprised my husband with delicious homemade biscuits & gravy! He loved em'! Thank you for such an easy recipe!
      I do have 1 question, can I use 2% milk instead? I ended up buying a small thing of whole milk for the recipe but we only drink the 2%. Would it make a huge difference? Thanks again!

        Yes, 2% should work. So glad you all enjoyed them!

      My biscuits came out almost flat a little too salty for my taste and crumbly. I didn’t do the whole mixing routine all at once I had to stop and start an 18 month old here, but I’ll try it again tomorrow. They still taste good I’m fixing sausage gravy tonight and that’s what they’ll have with it

        I hope your future attempts produce better results. Make sure you are using baking powder and not baking soda. Also make sure that your baking powder is not old because over time it can lose its lifting power. If you prefer it less salty, feel free to add less salt. Every salt has a little different salt level so it's possible yours tastes more salty than mine. Good luck to you!
