This is a recipe that my husband grew up making. It is simple yet delicious and our kids love to help Daddy make them in the kitchen!
Self-Rising Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1/4 cup butter (cut into pieces)
- 2/3 to 3/4 cup cold milk
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 425°
- Combine flour and butter just until you have large crumbs
- Add 2/3 cup of the milk, and stir until the mixture holds together, adding more milk if needed
- Place the dough onto a well-floured surface, and fold it over on itself several times, using more flour as needed to prevent sticking
- Roll or pat the dough to 1/2″ to 3/4″ thick
- Cut biscuits with a round 2″ cutter (we use the rim of a glass cup), dipping the cutter into flour between cuts to reduce sticking.
- Pat the scraps together, and cut additional biscuits
- Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about 1″ between them for crisp biscuits. Arrange biscuits so they’re barely touching for soft-side biscuits. For higher-rising soft-side biscuits, place biscuits in an 8″ round pan.
- Bake the biscuits for 10 to 14 minutes, or until they’re a light golden brown
- Remove them from the oven, and serve hot. Cool leftovers completely, wrap airtight, and store at room temperature for several days; freeze for longer storage.
- Yield: approximately 1 dozen 2″ biscuits
