Easy Homemade Biscuits

Perhaps one of the most comforting foods of ALL TIME, at least in my house. These flaky and buttery biscuits strike the perfect balance of airy and rustic and they can be made in minutes. Make them for breakfast or brunch served with butter, honey, jam and some scrambled eggs. Make a double batch for your Thanksgiving table or with a batch of soup or chili on game day. I also love them for dessert, piled high with berries and lightly sweetened whipped cream.
