Ahhhh đ âBiscuits from the heartâânow weâre talking soul food energy, warm, buttery, fluffy, straight from love and kitchen magic. Let me give you a classic Southern-style biscuit recipe that truly embodies that feeling.
â¤ď¸ Biscuits from the Heart (Fluffy Southern Biscuits)
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sugar (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ž cup buttermilk, cold
- Optional: 1 tsp garlic powder or herbs for savory twist
Instructions
- Preheat oven: 450°F / 230°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Mix dry ingredients: Flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt (plus optional seasonings).
- Cut in butter: Use a pastry cutter, two knives, or fingersâblend until mixture is coarse crumbs. Little bits of butter are okayâthey create flakiness.
- Add buttermilk: Pour in cold buttermilk gradually, stirring gently until dough just comes together. Donât overmix!
- Shape biscuits: Turn dough onto floured surface. Pat or roll to ~ž-inch thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter or glass.
- Bake: 10â12 minutes until golden on top.
- Optional finish: Brush tops with melted butter straight from the oven.
đĽ Tips for Maximum Heart

â¤ď¸ Serving Ideas

If you want, I can also create a âheart-shaped love versionâ or extra-flaky, buttery, pull-apart style that makes every bite feel extra special.
