Perfect Biscuits

Cultural Context

Biscuits are a staple in Southern American cuisine, often served with breakfast or as a side dish at meals. They are known for their flaky texture and buttery flavor, making them a beloved comfort food. The origins of biscuits can be traced back to British baking traditions, which were adapted in the United States, particularly in the South, where they became a cultural icon.
