Emergency Biscuits (Super Easy, No Milk, No butter)

emergency biscuits

Sometimes the simplest recipes come from unexpected moments. These emergency biscuits were born on a day when I couldn’t find bread at the store, and I didn’t have milk or butter at home. With just flour, water, oil, and a pinch of salt, I whipped up these quick biscuits—and to my surprise, they turned out soft, fluffy inside, and slightly crisp on the outside. Now they’ve become a family favorite, ready in just 12 minutes whenever we need fresh bread in a hurry.
