Homemade Biscuits from Scratch
Is there anything better than pulling a tray of warm, flaky biscuits from the oven?
Biscuits are a staple in our southern Missouri kitchen, and we’re excited to share how easy it is to make them from scratch. Check out our YouTube video tutorial (we’ll link it below!) and see how you can whip up these beauties with just a few ingredients.
Why Homemade Biscuits?
Biscuits are comfort food at its best—perfect for breakfast, dinner, or sopping up some homemade gravy. Making them from scratch is not only budget-friendly but also lets you control what goes into your food. No fancy equipment or skills needed, just a little time and love. At Grateful Acres, we believe in using God’s gifts to create meals that bring folks together, and biscuits do just that.

You’ll see how we keep it real—no fluff, just the basics to get you baking biscuits that’ll make your kitchen smell like home.
Tips for Perfect Biscuits
Here are a few pointers from the video to set you up for success:
Use Cold Butter: It’s the secret to flaky layers. Cut it into the flour until it’s crumbly.
Don’t Overmix: Stir just until the dough comes together to keep biscuits tender.
Pat, Don’t Roll: Gently pat the dough to shape it, preserving those airy layers.
Bake Hot: A hot oven (around 425°F) gives biscuits that golden, crisp top.
The video shows these steps in action, so you can see exactly how it’s done.
Pair with Our Country Gravy Mix
Biscuits are even better with a ladle of creamy gravy. We make our own Country Gravy Mix right here at the farmstead, using simple pantry staples. It’s a quick, homemade touch that turns biscuits into a hearty meal. Check out the recipe and keep a batch in your pantry for easy dinners.
Why It’s Worth It
Making biscuits from scratch is a small way to bring the farmstead life into your kitchen. It’s practical, satisfying, and a nod to doing your best with what you’ve got. Plus, there’s something special about sharing warm biscuits with family or neighbors—it’s the kind of thing that makes memories.
