Baking Powder Biscuits
These baking powder biscuits are soft, golden, and come together in no time, no yeast, no waiting. The recipe is straight from my grandma’s 1940s cookbook and uses just a handful of pantry staples. They’re the kind of biscuits you’ll want to make on repeat, whether it’s for dinner, breakfast, or a cozy afternoon snack.
