Tender, flaky buttermilk biscuits made with just three simple ingredients, then brushed with melted butter for a golden finish.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Cold Butter, cubed
  • 2 Cups Self-rising Flour
  • 3/4 Cup Buttermilk
  • Melted Butter, for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, cut the cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the buttermilk just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead 3-4 times.
  2. Pat or lightly roll the dough to 3/4-inch thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-inch biscuit cutter.
  3. Place biscuits on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 425°F until golden brown, 11-13 minutes. Brush the tops with melted butter and serve warm.

Notes

  • Keep the butter and buttermilk cold for the best flaky texture.
  • Avoid overworking the dough, as this can make the biscuits tough.
  • Serve warm with butter, jam, honey, or your favorite savory toppings.
