National Biscuit Month

National Biscuit Month celebrates biscuits throughout September. Soft or crunchy, small or large, and served with butter, jelly, ham, or sausage, this versatile quick bread can be enjoyed in many ways.

The history of the American biscuit began with European settlers, who brought dense, hard biscuits to the New World. In colonial times, biscuits became a mainstay because they were quick to bake, easy to make, and required few ingredients. Over time, cooks—especially in the South—began beating the dough to help it rise. Baking soda and baking powder later helped biscuits become popular in the North as well, according to the Gazette-Journal.

Today, biscuit lovers can explore cream, drop, yeasted, and laminated varieties, as well as different combinations of butter, honey, cream cheese, jam, jelly, and gravy. The month is a good excuse to enjoy a familiar favorite or try a style you have never tasted before. One account of National Biscuit Month describes using the occasion as inspiration to make homemade biscuits.
