ok what purpose does milk have when making biscuits??, can i use water instead??

Answer 1

Use a lot of butter in the mixture (and a teaspoon of baking powder if you have it) instead of water.

Answer 2

It might make the biscuits taste plain, but it will still work. You might want to add something extra for flavor in the recipe, like perhaps brush the dough with butter. Or you can use a different replacement for milk! Rice milk works great and has a great flavor! You can also use soy milk if you're okay with the flavor.

Answer 3

Supposedly, it tastes richer and keeps the biscuits from being too dry, especially the outside. I would think that water alone would make the biscuit a little too chewy to taste good, but I don't know for sure.

Answer 4

In addition to the taste, milk also promotes the delicate browning of the biscuit tops...mmmm!

Answer 5

Unless it is a mix that specifically says only use water, I wouldn't use water to replace the milk because the taste will not be as great. There are mixes out there that say "add water". I know Bisquick has special mixes that say "just add water". I've used them before. :)

Answer 6

Milk is creamier, and sort of makes the biscuits richer. :D

Answer 7

milk makes it taste good

Answer 8

taste will differ,and will notbe good.
