Part 3: Step-by-Step Guide and Helpful Tips
Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour (properly measured)
- 1½ cups whole buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons salted butter (melted)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven helps the biscuits rise quickly and develop a golden crust.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a bowl, add the self-rising flour. Pour in the buttermilk and about half of the melted butter.
Stir gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing—this keeps the biscuits tender.
Step 3: Let the Dough Rest
Allow the dough to sit for about 5 minutes. This helps improve texture and rise.
Step 4: Shape the Biscuits
Scoop portions of dough onto a baking sheet. Leave a little space between each one.
Do not smooth the tops—the rough texture helps create crispy edges.
Step 5: Add Butter
Lightly brush the tops with some melted butter before baking.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Step 7: Finish and Serve
Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining butter.
Let them cool slightly, then serve warm.
