Angel biscuits, often referred to as “bride’s biscuits” or “heavenly biscuits,” strike the perfect balance between a flaky biscuit and a light, yeasty roll. They are a cherished treasure of Southern United States cuisine and hold a special place at any dinner table due to their light-as-air texture, which is brought about by the unique combination of yeast, baking powder, and baking soda in the dough. Thought to have originated in the Appalachian Mountains, angel biscuits are a delightful hybrid that rose in popularity for their forgiving nature for less experienced bakers and their indulgent, comforting taste.
Angel biscuits are versatile and can accompany a wide array of meals, making them suitable for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. For a classic Southern breakfast, serve them warm with butter and honey, or split them and fill with crispy bacon, a fried egg, and cheese. They can also make an excellent side for a dinner of fried chicken or smothered in gravy. If you prefer something sweeter, use them to make shortcakes topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. No matter how you serve them, angel biscuits are sure to be appreciated for their tender crumb and rich flavor.
