About Biscuit dough
Biscuit dough is a versatile mixture typically made from flour, baking powder, salt, butter or shortening, and milk or water. This foundational dough originates from Southern U.S. cuisine, where fluffy, golden biscuits are a staple comfort food. It can be crafted for both sweet and savory applications. The butter or shortening provides richness, while baking powder ensures a light, airy texture. While biscuits made from this dough are beloved for their flavor and texture, they can be high in calories and saturated fats due to the use of butter and refined flour. Whole-grain flour or lower-fat substitutes can make biscuit dough healthier, adding fiber and reducing fat content. Enjoyed in moderation, biscuit dough is a satisfying base for meals or snacks, pairing well with a variety of spreads, toppings, or gravies.
