Mom's Southern Homemade Simple Biscuits

Recipe #174267 | 30 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 4 -6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Momma Zakaria

I grew up loving my mother's homemade biscuits, so I thought I would share the recipe here! They are very simple to make and go great with breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Posted on: Jun 21, 2006

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2-2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Preheat oven to 425°F.
    2. 2
      Mix all ingredients well. If dough seems dry, add a little bit extra milk until mixes well.
    3. 3
      Place dough onto lightly greased cookie sheet in biscuit shapes. My mother didn't even shape them; she would just put globs of dough down and they would be irregular shapes.
    4. 4
      Lightly dust flour on the top of the biscuits.
    5. 5
      Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

    This is identical to my mothers recipe which I make on occasion. I watched mother make these many times as youngster. Of course, mother didn't measure anything so thanks for posting the recipe withthe exact measurements. These are wonderful in texture and taste.
