Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cubed
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, mix together the self-rising flour and sugar.
  • Add the butter and using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. If using grated butter, this won’t take long.
  • Add the buttermilk milk to the bowl and stir until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • This is a base recipe; you can have fun with add-ins. Add your favorite cheese, herb, or chopped fruit for a delicious spin.
  • Make your own self-rising flour by using 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 tsp of salt to make self-rising flour.
