How to Make Cheap and Easy Biscuits

[@paulroberts971]

Another commenter suggested taking a a can such as green beans or corn comes in, cut out both ends, remove the label and wash. Makes a perfect biscuit cutter.

I usually go with the 2-1-1/2 method, 2 cups self-rising flour, 1/2 cup oil, 1 cup milk. Though recently my mind has been blown by how good two ingredient biscuits are. 2c self-rising flour, 1 and 1/2c heavy whipping cream. Light, fluffy, and almost no effort.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I don't usually use self-rising flour. It is not one of the staples I keep in my house. Do you ever make your own, or do you use store-bought? I am looking forward to trying your two-ingredient biscuit recipe sometime. It doesn't sound healthy, but it does sound good!

@@spendwisemoms Store bought. Adding salt and baking powder to all-purpose is essentially making self-rising so feels easier to me to just keep a small bag of all-purpose for the off occasion I need it specifically.

New sub!! I will definitely try these. They look delicious. Are you using All Purpose Flour? 😊

[@spendwisemoms]

I use Wheat Montana flour. I believe it is an unbleached flour. It is heavier than other flours, kind of like King Arthur flour. I usually always use All Purpose Flour in the breads I make instead of bread flour and they always work out well. I hope that answers your question. Have a great day.

I worked with a Gal years ago and she made these biscuits. I had never heard of using Oil and not Shortening.

[@spendwisemoms]

I was surprised the first time I tried it with oil, but it sure is easier than shortening and healthier as well. I have changed over to oil instead of shortening in making tortillas as well.
