Time 26m

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 1/4 cups (270) self-rising flour (see notes for substitution)
1 stick (1/2 cup, 112 gr) salted butter, cold (see notes for substitution)
3/4 cup - 1 1/4 cup (177-295 ml) milk or buttermilk, cold (see notes for substitution)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 450F (232 C)
  • Measure out your flour by fluffing it up with a spoon, lightly spooning it into your measuring cup being careful not to pack it down, and level it off. Or use a scale to measure by weight. Place in a large mixing bowl.
  • Cut your cold butter into small chunks and add it into your flour. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut the butter into the flour until it is the texture of coarse meal.
  • Add about 3/4 cup of the cold milk into your flour and butter mixture and stir using a spoon or rubber spatula, not a whisk, just until the flour is incorporated, about 10-15 seconds. Add more milk as needed to bring the consistency to a very thick batter. You want it thin enough that it could not be rolled out like a dough, but still very thick. See the video above for the right consistency. I usually need 1 cup, but you may need a little more or a little less. Do not over-mix your batter or you will have tough biscuits.
  • Using a 2 oz scoop or a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop out your biscuits into a cast iron skillet or onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Place the biscuits in your preheated oven, and bake at 450 F (232 C) for 16-18 minutes, until golden brown.
  • If desired, spoon melted butter over the top of the baked biscuits.
  • Completely cooled biscuits can be wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To refresh, warm in a 325 F (163 C) oven for about 10 minutes until warmed through.

Here's what you need: unsalted butter, self-rising flour, kosher salt, black pepper, cold buttermilk, unsalted butter

Categories     Sides

Time 17m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, frozen
2 cups self-rising flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper, plus more for topping
¾ cup cold buttermilk, plus more as needed and plus 2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using a box grater, grate the frozen butter into a large bowl. Add the flour, salt, and pepper and stir with a spatula to combine.
  • Pour in the buttermilk, stirring until the dough starts to come together. If should hold together when gently squeezed in your hand. If the mixture is still dry, add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a rough rectangle. Using a bench scraper, fold one half of the rectangle on top of the other half. Pat down, and repeat the process 2 more times. This will build flaky layers.
  • Gently shape the dough into an 8-inch square. Cut into 9 smaller squares. Transfer the biscuits to the prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 1 inch apart.
  • Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter. Top each biscuit with a sprinkle of black pepper.
  • Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden brown at the edges, and just baked through.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh self-rising flour for the best results. Old flour may not rise properly.
  • Make sure the butter is very cold before grating it. This will help to create a flaky biscuit.
  • Do not overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Be sure to preheat the oven before baking the biscuits. This will help them to rise evenly.
  • Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown on top. Overbaking will make them dry.

Conclusion:

These 3-ingredient self-rising flour biscuits are quick and easy to make, and they are absolutely delicious. They are perfect for a quick breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can also use them to make sandwiches, sliders, or even croutons. No matter how you choose to enjoy them, you are sure to love these biscuits.
