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.
