Homemade Biscuits Recipe: and Pancake Mix

This homemade biscuits recipe is where my journey for making it from scratch began.

I was purchasing refrigerated biscuits from the store. Then I noticed all the extra ingredients in the store bought ones. In order to be more homemade, I purchased a box of Bisquick. Then I wondered if I could still get biscuits cheaper and healthier by making my own.

Then I remembered my southern grandmother and women on the prairie didn’t have the luxury of just opening a box to make biscuits. They had to make them by hand and from scratch. So I knew this could be done.

I did a lot of research to find out how to make the best homemade biscuits from pre-made biscuit mix. If you pre-make the homemade biscuit mix then, when ever you want biscuits it will be simply measuring what you need. If you are following a recipe that needs homemade biscuits recipe mix, you will have your own ready to go. This will be just that easy.

2. Here is the secret step for really flakey layered homemade biscuits. Take the dough and layout on a floured surface and fold it over on itself and roll it out again. See all those layers in the picture? Keep folding over on itself and rolling out about 10 times for really nice layered biscuits.

2. Pour onto griddle like this one around 350 degrees and brown on both sides. This is the best homemade pancake mix. We made these just the other day with the buttermilk. These were the best pancakes we have ever made. You will have to add this homemade pancake mix to your recipe log.
