Ingredients

  • 3 cup self rising flour
  • 1 cup butter divided (1 stick COLD, 1 stick melted)
  • 1 1/2 cups milk

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Place flour and 1/2 cup (1 stick) of COLD butter (cut into small pieces) in a large mixing bowl. Use a pastry cutter(pastry blender) to blend flour and butter in the large bowl until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in milk using a danish dough whisk or spoon.
  • Knead dough on a floured surface just until everything comes together and soft dough forms.
  • Roll dough out 1/2"-3/4" thick using a rolling pin.
  • Cut biscuits using a 3" biscuit cutter. Press round cutter directly down and then up. No need to twist---this makes for a clean cut biscuit with level tops.
  • Press leftover dough together and continue to cut out biscuits. I usually get 12 (3") biscuits from one recipe when rolled out 3/4" thick.
  • Place biscuits in a greased (or sprayed with non stick cooking spray) 9x13" baking pan or on a greased baking sheet.
  • Place biscuits close together so that they are touching. This will help them rise nice and tall.
  • Bake for 18 minutes. Tops should be golden brown.
  • Pour 1/2 cup (1 stick) of melted butter over the HOT biscuits. Let them sit in pan for a few minutes, then remove to a rack.

Notes
