I call these the 20 Minute Homemade Biscuits… I’ve made these countless times over the years … They are by far one of the fastest bread sides I’ve come across… and they can darn near be added to any meal! I found these biscuits through allrecipes … and I’ve made them with both butter or shortening and they turn out perfect either way!
We love these biscuits… they melt in your mouth! Not only that but they take 20 minutes to make from start to finish!! Sure beats those tubes of biscuits you pick up in the refrigerated section at the grocery store… How fresh are those?? See any ingredients on the back you can’t even sound out??? And then compare to price for one tube to this recipe… Pennies on the dollar!
Its a win win!! 🙂

Should be looking like this
Coat all sides with some flour and kneed about 15 to 20 times… do not over do it!
Flatted it out in a rectangle with your hands
Grab one end and fold it over…
That way when they are done its easy to cut them down the middle and open them up!
But I just like to slice them so there no wasted dough at the end!
Here is a couple pictures of cut out ones… sometimes I’ll shape them as hearts too 😉
If you like these… Try my Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits or 30 Minute Dinner Rolls
Looking for good breads?? My favorite is Amish White Bread and Easy French Bread

These look so good. I love biscuits!
Yum! Who doesn’t love a good homemade side??
Oh yum! I love having biscuits and gravy… or just biscuits! haha! Thank you for this!
Biscuits and Gravy are my weakness!!! 😉
love love love homemade biscuits! Especially how the house smells while they’re baking… and then when they are fresh with a bit of jam… yummm!!
Nothing beats homemade biscuits!
There is nothing like homemade biscuits. They are nice and easy too.
This is so funny, In England we call these scones! We traditionally eat them with a cup of tea, clotted cream and some homemade strawberry jam! I’ve never heard them being called biscuits! Biscuits are flat little things that crunch when you bite them – like cookies!
These have such a great rise on them! Will definitely be trying your recipe to see if they taste any different to scones!

Homemade biscuits are the best! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Ooooooh salivating already, my mum is a queen maker of biscuits. Those look delicious and tasty.
Just 20 minutes? Yum Yum! I need to make these ASAP!
These do look super easy! My mom loves to make biscuits but she uses bisquick all the time. -.-
These look delicious! And only 20 minutes?! Impressive.
I love home made biscuits, thank you for this receipt

Yum! I’ll have to save your recipe, my fiance is obsessed with biscuits and gravy and he gets it every time we go out for breakfast! This would be so fun to make at home for him!
These look great! I love all things bread,
20 minutes?! That’s so fast!
Yum! I have never made homemade bread before, but I don’t think you can beat 20 minute biscuits.

What type of flour are you using? All purpose or self rising?
AP flour! I’ve also made them half whole wheat half AP… turns out great!
Your recipe was a hit! they were amazing! so easy and delicious!
I accidentally used 1tbsp of salt instead of 1tsp. Damn biscuits came out looking amazing and fluffy but too Damn salty. Can’t wait to do it right next time
This is awesome! I can’t wait to make these!
Just tried these tonight and were fantastic! Took me 30 mins because I had toddler interruptions, buy still so easy and overall quick. I actually used a small heart shaped cookie cutter to make small portions and put them in for ten mins. Perfection! These are going to be used weekly!
That’s great!! I’ve made them in heart shapes before too!!! The kids love that!
The dough is unworkable it’s so moist that it just sticks to yor hands no matter how much flour you use this recipe is not great so far
Sorry Lillian… I’ve never had that problem??
Yummi
awesome..just tried them out..so simple and yummy:)
I haven’t made biscuits in years, just because I couldn’t find the right texture for the dough. they came out beautiful and I am just sitting here waiting for them to be done and to dig in. Thank you very much for such an easy recipe.
Never tried making homemade rolls before last nite. Huge hit! My father asked that I make employer @least once a week! Thank you.
Stupid auto correct, that I make them @least once a week! I am so proud of myself lol
Yummo!!! I was leery of this recipe because it seemed too easy to be true…. but I was wrong!! These were super easy to make and ridiculously delicious! I made them to go with a recipe for chicken pot pie stew. It was perfect!
I can’t get the flour to clump up with the shortening!! Help!
You could try putting it in the mixer and use a whisk… Or try with softened butter… I use my fork and cut it in!
I make biscuits like these all the time. The easiest way to incorporate the butter is to freeze it first and then use a box (or other type) grater to grate it directly into the flour mixture and then just give it a quick stir. . Easier and more efficient than cutting in, and frozen butter works best in recipes like this. Makes the finished product very fluffy.

Thank u for sharing. Mine turned out very tasty and went great with our roast. I won’t be buying store biscuits again! 🙂
Important to use a sharp cutter so your biscuits can rise while baking. Thank you for the easy peasy biscuit recipe 🙂
I used the same recipe for years and then due to health, didn’t bake. Imagine my dismay, when I started baking again that my biscuits wouldn’t turn out and were too dry. I had purchased a new colorful set of measuring cups to match my kitchen. After the fifth failed attempt, I found the one cup measure actually held almost 1 1/4 cups of flour! If your biscuits fail…check your measuring cups.
Awesome recipe
these were fantastic , so easy and liked the idea of seeing it being done step by step. I made them really thick and cut them in half and put a slice of ham and cheese on them !. WOW was it delicious. Thank you
Oh forgot , I used coconut oil in these tasty biscuits
Every time I have tried to make tea biscuits they have never turned out until now. These were light, fluffy, golden and delishous! Very easy and fast to make, thank you for sharing ! ! !
Darn spell correct, meant to say delicious!
been looking for a good biscuit recipe to try. This is like those my mom made many years back. I used butter and they turned out great.
[…] great to prep before dinner time and then just toss in the oven when your ready! I love using my 20 Minute Homemade Biscuit recipe as well for it… but your can always use those tubes of biscuits from the store… […]
These are amazing! The first batch I had too much flour on my board so they were a bit dusty and dry. lol The second batch was amazing and i added buttermilk and im so excited to add some shredded Sharp Cheddar cheese next time. mmmmmm Thank you so much for sharing.
I made these and they are delicious!
