Instructions

• Step 1: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). This high heat is essential for achieving that perfect golden crust.
• Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour to aerate it. This ensures a light and fluffy texture in your biscuits.
• Step 3: Grate the cold butter into the flour mixture. Using a fork or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Step 4: Make a well in the center of the flour and butter mixture. Pour in the buttermilk all at once. Stir gently until just combined.
• Step 5: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
• Step 6: Using your biscuit cutter, cut out rounds from the dough. Place them on a prepared baking sheet.
• Step 7: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
• Step 8: Once baked, let the biscuits cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam.
