Homemade Biscuits

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Author Brooke Burks

Ingredients

  • 2 cups self rising flour
  • 1/4 cup cold cubed Butter
  • pinch sugar optional
  • pinch salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees. In a large bowl, mix your Flour with the salt and sugar. I sift mine together using a whisk! Add the butter and cut in with a pastry cutter or two knives. Cut in the butter until it resembles small peas.
    2 cups self rising flour, pinch sugar, pinch salt, 1/4 cup cold
  • Add in the buttermilk slowly just until the dough starts to form but is still kind of straggly, if that is even a word :). I turn out on a floured board or surface and press together into a ball. I roll it out in a rectangle and fold it in on itself. I repeat the rectangle and fold two more times. This technique is similar to making a pie crust. It makes the flaky layers we all love in the biscuit, without working the dough too much. The final roll, I roll to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick and cut with a biscuit cutter.
    1 cup buttermilk
  • Take each biscuit and to form the pretty little dimples on the top, I pat the sides with my thumb and middle finger while gently patting the top with my pointer. It takes a little time but you will eventually get the hang of it. it creates a little dimply pillow of goodness!
  • Place in a lightly greased Cast Iron Skillet leaving a little space between each.Spray the tops with cooking spray and place in a preheated 475 degree oven for 10-15 minutes(depending on your oven) Cook until the tops are brown. Brush with melted butter if you’d like.
