These Black Pepper Biscuits made with freshly-ground black pepper are the most heavenly biscuits you will ever eat! Pair them with butter and honey, and you have reached pure nirvana.<\/p>\n

\"TheseLet me tell you about my not-favorite-dinner when I was growing up. It consisted of tuna gravy made out of flour, milk, and tuna poured over flat, flavorless biscuits.<\/p>\n

Now compare those biscuits to the ones you get from Kentucky Fried Chicken. Those biscuits are huge and fluffy, but they have a strange texture that makes them stick to the roof of your mouth makes you really thirsty.<\/p>\n

Let’s just say that until recently, I was not a biscuit fan. Then one day, all of that changed when I found a recipe for Black Pepper Biscuits in our church cookbook, and my life was forever changed. I combined that recipe with this recipe for Perfect Biscuits Every Time<\/a>\u00a0from Mom on Timeout and tweaked it a bit, and the result was sheer perfection!<\/p>\n

First, let’s just appreciate\u00a0how high and fluffy they are!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Aside from their impressive size, what makes these biscuits truly special is the freshly ground black pepper that gives them their name. You can\u2019t use the kind in your pepper shaker. You have to use actual ground pepper. If you don\u2019t have one of those wooden pepper grinders, you can use this cute little\u00a0McCormick Black Peppercorn Grinder \u2013 1.0 oz<\/a>\"\"\u00a0from Amazon.<\/p>\n

Alternately, you can throw some peppercorns into your Blendtec or VitaMix and and pulse them a few times. \u00a0I do think that you need a powerful blender, like a Blendtec or VitaMix. I tried blending the peppercorns in my Ninja, and it was not very effective. You might get huge pieces of peppercorn in your biscuits, which can be quite shocking to the senses. Also, be aware that if you crack the peppercorns in your blender, it may cause the bottom of the container to become a little filmy (because of the force of the peppercorns slamming into the side).<\/p>\n

But it is SO \u00a0worth it. Look at this:<\/p>\n

See those big flecks of pepper!<\/p>\n

Wait. Were you too busy looking at the honey? That\u2019s o.k. These biscuits taste AMAZING with butter and honey. Or try chicken salad sandwiched between the two sides. I can\u2019t image anything that would not be delicious with these biscuits.<\/p>\n

And if you end up with extra ground pepper, don\u2019t worry. You can just make a second batch. ????<\/p>\n
