Ingredients

• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cup whole milk (or buttermilk)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, optional for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add the self-rising flour.

Step 3

Cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the milk, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 3-4 times to bring the dough together. Do not overwork the dough.

Step 6

Pat or roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness.

Step 7

Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting. Gather and reuse scraps as needed.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, with sides barely touching for softer edges or spaced apart for crisper edges.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and, if desired, brush the tops with melted butter for extra flavor.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
