These Southern High Rise Biscuits are so easy to make and will quickly become a family favorite. If you have followed our website for any amount of time then you know we love biscuits. We have over 40 biscuit recipes on our website and we even dedicated an entire digital cookbook to nothing but biscuits!
Southern High Rise Biscuits Simple Ingredients:
All Purpose Flour
White Granulated Sugar
Baking Powder
Cream of Tartar
Lard or Shortening
Salt
Milk
Egg
As you can see these biscuits have an egg in them, which isn’t overly common and they also use a larger amount of baking soda, both of these ingredients create the rise. These biscuits have a crisp top and a very soft middle and we love them with butter and jelly. They would be wonderful with gravy too since they are so thick!
Our Cathead Biscuits is one of our most popular recipes but these high rise biscuits are delicious too! This recipe has so many great comments, if you want to be taken back in time go read them. So many of our wonderful followers have commented on how they have enjoyed those biscuits for many years.
