Ingredients
2cupsself-rising flour
1teaspoongranulated sugar
1/2cupcold unsalted buttercubed
1cupbuttermilk
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.
