Ingredients

  • 2 cups Self-rising flour (King Arthur is my favorite)
  • 1/4 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 cup Cold butter cut into cubes
  • 1 cup Milk or Buttermilk

Instructions

  • Add flour and baking soda to mixing bowl.
  • Next, add cubes of butter and mix with a paddle attachment or a spatula if you are mixing by hand. Mix until it resembles coarse flour.
  • Add milk or buttermilk until mixture resembles sticky dough that is still somewhat firm and pliable (softer and stickier than bread dough).
  • DO NOT OVERWORK DOUGH!
  • Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and either press or roll the dough to 1/2 inch or 1/3 inch thickness. Cut the dough into biscuits with a biscuit cutter or drinking glass.
  • Use butter to grease an iron skill or cake pan and place the biscuits it. Pop the ban into the oven for 8-10 minutes until almost done.
  • Pull skillet out and place a little bit of butter on the tops of each of the biscuits. Put back into the oven for another 3-5 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits are lightly golden. Let them cool for 5 minutes and enjoy!
