Easy 3 Ingredient Self-Rising Flour Biscuits (American Style Biscuits)

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option while margarine is often less expensive.

Lightly spoon self-rising flour into measuring cups without packing it down and level it off.

Add 2 and 1/4 cups self-rising flour to a bowl.

Add 4 ounces of cold cubed salted butter to the flour.

Use a pastry cutter or a fork to cut the butter through the flour until it resembles coarse meal.

Add 1 cup of cold milk or cold buttermilk to the flour and butter mixture.

Stir just until combined, about 10 seconds; do not over-mix to avoid tough biscuits.

Use a two-ounce scoop or 1/4 cup measuring cup to portion the biscuits into a cast-iron skillet or a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for about 18 minutes or until golden brown.

Top with melted butter if desired.
