    Which liquid makes the best biscuits? ›

    Selecting the liquid for your biscuits

    Just as important as the fat is the liquid used to make your biscuits. Our Buttermilk Biscuit recipe offers the choice of using milk or buttermilk. Buttermilk is known for making biscuits tender and adding a zippy tang, so we used that for this test.

    What do Americans eat with biscuits? ›

    What can I put on my biscuits? ›

    There is literally no wrong way to eat a biscuit. That is just a fact. Whether you keep it simple and spread on delicious, freshly churned butter, slather it with decadent homemade clotted cream, or make a sandwich with your favorite fixings, the outcome will remain the same: biscuits + toppings = delicious.

    What type of flour makes the best biscuits? ›

    Cake flour will give you a lighter, fluffier biscuit, but the outer crust won't have as much bite to it. Conversely, all-purpose flour will provide more bite, but it'll be a drier, less airy biscuit. The solution: Use half cake flour and half all-purpose flour.

    Should you chill biscuit dough before baking? ›

    But if you chill your pan of biscuits in the fridge before baking, not only will the gluten relax (yielding more tender biscuits), the butter will harden up. And the longer it takes the butter to melt as the biscuits bake, the more chance they have to rise high and maintain their shape. So, chill... and chill.

    What does adding an egg to biscuits do? ›

    As it turns out, adding hard-boiled egg yolks to your biscuit dough is a way to ward off an overworked, tough dough that can be the downfall of a butter-based pastry. When the trick is employed, the pastry shatters and then dissolves in your mouth quickly, tasting like a knob of flaky butter.

    So what's the final verdict? Butter is the winner here. The butter biscuits were moister with that wonderful butter taste and melt-in-your mouth texture. I'd be curious to test out substituting half or just two tablespoons of the butter with shortening to see if you get the best of both.
