Angel biscuits are a type of light and fluffy biscuit that use both yeast and baking powder to achieve a delicate texture. What’s wonderful about these soft and fluffy biscuits is that it’s just about impossible to make them incorrectly. It’s true! Angel biscuits are a fool-proof recipe that anyone can make. They’re almost as easy as classic buttermilk biscuits but even more likely to come out of the oven perfectly, every single time.
