Easy Homemade Biscuits

Source of Recipe


Southern Living, November 2006






List of Ingredients



• 1/3 cup butter, softened and cubed
  
• 2¼ cups self-rising flour (such as White Lily Self Rising Flour)
  
• 1 cup buttermilk
  
• 3 Tbsp melted butter
  






Instructions



1. Cut softened butter into flour with a pastry blender or two forks just until butter cubes are coated with flour. Using your hands, gently combine until mixture resembles small peas. Stir in buttermilk with a fork just until blended (mixture will be wet).
   
   
2. Turn dough out onto a generously floured surface, and pat to a ½-inch thickness. Cut dough with a well-floured 2-inch round cutter, and place on lightly greased baking sheets.
   
   
3. Bake at 450° for 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven, and brush warm biscuits with melted butter. Serve immediately.
   
   Makes about 1½ dozen.
