Optional Glaze (Extra Sweet)
Mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1–2 tbsp milk and drizzle over warm biscuits.
These are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy afternoon snack.
If you’d like, I can also give you a quick drop-biscuit version (no rolling required) or a buttermilk variation for extra fluffiness.
