Ingredients
- 3 cup self rising flour
- 3/4 cup butter divided (1 stick COLD, 1/2 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.
- Brush 1/2 stick of melted butter over the HOT biscuits. Let them sit in pan for a few minutes, then remove to a rack.
