Learn how to make fluffy and delicious biscuits using self-rising flour. These biscuits are quick and easy to prepare, and they make a perfect addition to breakfast or dinner. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time, you'll have homemade biscuits that rival any bakery.
Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, add the self-rising flour and cold, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir lightly with a fork or spoon just until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll it out to about 1-inch thickness.
- Using a round biscuit cutter (about 2 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each biscuit.
- Gather any remaining dough scraps and gently press them together to form additional biscuits.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy as is or with butter and jam.
