Ingredients
2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup cold buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the cold butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the cold buttermilk and stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold it in half and pat it out again. Repeat this folding process 2-3 times.
- Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the baking sheet. Gather any leftover dough, pat it out, and continue cutting.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
Ensure the butter and buttermilk are cold for the flakiest texture.
Avoid overmixing the dough, as this can make the biscuits dense.
You can freeze the biscuits after baking for later use. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
