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

The key ingredient in these biscuits is self-rising flour. Self-rising flour contains all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt already combined for you. Lightly spoon it into your measuring cups without packing it down and level it off. You will need two and a fourth cup self-rising flour for this recipe. Add four ounces of cold, cubed, salted butter to your flour. Use a pastry cutter or a fork to cut the butter through the flour until it is the texture of coarse meal. Add one cup of cold milk or cold buttermilk to your flour-butter mixture and stir just until combined, about 10 seconds. Do not overmix or you will have tough biscuits. Use a two ounce scoop or a fourth cup measuring cup to portion your biscuits into a cast iron skillet or a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for about 18 minutes or until they are golden brown. Top with melted butter if desired. There you have it. Easy, three-ingredient, fluffy, buttery biscuits.
