My Favorite Baked Good

I love making biscuits for my family because they use simple pantry ingredients and turn a bowl of soup or stew into a more filling meal. They are the kind of baked good everyone reaches for when they are served warm, and they help fill hungry stomachs without adding a lot of extra work to dinner.

Once you know the basic method, biscuits are also easy to change depending on what you have on hand. Cheese, herbs, seasonings, or a touch of sweetness can make each batch a little different, which is why biscuits are one of the baked goods I return to again and again.
