Okay, I got it. Here is my sharing about making easy homemade biscuits with all-purpose flour and no baking powder:
So, I tried making biscuits the other day. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing, really. I was craving some, but I realized I was all out of baking powder. And who wants to run to the store for just one thing, right? So, I thought, “Why not try making them without it?” I found a simple recipe online that used only all-purpose flour, no baking powder needed. I already had all the stuff at home, so I started.
First, I grabbed my mixing bowl and tossed in the flour. Then, I added some salt. I like to use my hands for this, so I mixed them all together. The recipe did say something about using baking soda and lemon juice instead of baking powder, but I didn’t have lemon, so I went ahead with some vinegar.
Mixing Wet and Dry Ingredients
Next, I poured in the cold milk and the vinegar. I had to work kind of fast because I didn’t want the vinegar curdling up the milk too much. I mixed it all up, making sure not to overdo it. Then I just added some melted butter and it was time for kneading.

- Salt
- Milk
- Vinegar
- Butter
Kneading and Shaping
I sprinkled some flour on my countertop and plopped the dough on it. I kneaded it just a few times until it felt right. I flattened it with my hands, cut it into circles with a glass, and put them on a baking sheet. My oven was already preheated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, so I popped them in.
Baking Time
I baked them for about 15 minutes. They were golden brown and smelled amazing when I took them out. It’s always a good feeling when something turns out well, especially when you weren’t sure it would work.
I let them cool a bit, then slathered one with butter and jam. It was so good! I never thought it is possible to make delicious biscuits without baking powder, but these were fluffy and tasted just like the ones I used to make with baking powder. I guess sometimes, simple is better. And hey, now I know I can make biscuits whenever I want, even if I’m out of baking powder!
