Take the stick of butter out of the refrigerator to keep it cold.

Measure out 2 cups of self-rising flour, dividing it into two halves.

Put one half of the flour into a mixing bowl and the other half into a food processor.

Cut the butter into cubes and add it to the flour in the food processor.

Pulse the food processor a few times until the butter is broken up and mixed with the flour.

Combine the processed flour mixture back into the bowl with the remaining flour.

Flour the counter and prepare to handle the dough.

Measure out 1 cup of buttermilk and set it aside.

Make a well in the flour mixture and pour the buttermilk into the well.

Gently stir the mixture about 15 times to combine, being careful not to overwork the dough.

Flour the counter again and place the sticky dough onto it.

Pat the dough down gently without using a rolling pin, adding more flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Fold the dough over a few times to create layers, pushing it down and folding it in different directions.

Flatten the dough to about 1 inch thick.

Use a floured cup to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting.

Prepare a baking pan by rubbing a little oil on it to prevent sticking.

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Place the cut biscuits into the prepared pan, close together to help them rise.

Optionally, add ingredients like cheddar cheese or brown sugar for flavor variations.
