Fluffy homemade buttery biscuits go great with everything. They are perfect for serving for breakfast with jelly or honey. Or they also make a great addition to dinners, such as fried chicken. These homemade biscuits taste like the classic buttery biscuits that you get from KFC. These biscuits are made with cream of tartar, they are also slightly sweetened with sugar. Make these biscuits for a buttery breakfast or side dish topped with jelly or butter.
The biscuits are made with flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and cream of tartar. Butter is cubed and added to the flour mixture. To make sure that the butter is cold, you can put it in the freezer for a few minutes. Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. You can also use two knives instead to cut the butter in. Add in milk, and mix until a dough forms. Pat the dough out on a floured surface, and cut out biscuits. Place onto a greased baking sheet and bake until the tops are lightly golden brown.
