Flaky Biscuit

Flaky Biscuit

Everyday

A flaky biscuit is a buttermilk-based baked good characterized by its tender, layered texture achieved through precise dough lamination. This Southern U.S. staple uses cold butter folded into dough to create air pockets that rise into distinct, buttery strata during baking. While offering minimal protein, it provides quick energy through carbohydrates and contains notable saturated fat from its butter content. Flaky biscuits are commonly served warm with breakfast meals or as a savory accompaniment to stews and gravies.
