Angel Biscuits

A biscuit that is extra soft and delightfully light.

Angel biscuits are perfect to take to church homecomings, family gatherings, or to make and simply enjoy a quiet moment of 'mmmm mmmm good' right at home. You might find a recipe for angel biscuits in your collection of family hand-me-down recipes or in a church cookbook.

I first experienced savoring angel biscuits at my grandparents' family meals. Nanny made these perfect biscuits that were petite in comparison to other biscuits and nearly melted in your mouth. Not only do angel biscuits pair well with a classic white gravy, but they are also delicious with homemade strawberry freezer preserves. I don't think there is a wrong way to eat an angel biscuit; just eat and enjoy!

There's no time like the present! Let's gather our ingredients and get baking!
