• servings: 2 servings
• active time: 30 minutes
• total time: 42 minutes

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups buttermilk

6 cups self-rising flour

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup salted butter

Directions

Preheat a 475 °F oven and slice butter into thin slices. Put the butter in the freezer.

Sift flour and salt into a large mixing bowl.

Once chilled, add the butter into the flour mixture and cut it in with a pastry cutter or fork. It should resemble coarse crumbs when it’s ready.

Add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients and mix it with a wooden spoon until just combined.

Turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead it 10 times, or until it creates a soft dough.

Roll biscuit dough out, using your fingers or a rolling pin until 1/2 inch thick.

Cut biscuits with a 2 inch biscuit cutter.

Place on a parchment lined baking sheet to where their edges are barely touching.

Brush buttermilk onto the tops of the biscuits (this is optional).

Bake 10-12 minutes (longer if you have larger biscuits). The tops should be golden brown.

Brush with melted butter (this is optional).
