Baking Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of self-rising flour.
- Grate the frozen stick of unsalted butter directly into the flour mixture or use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center of your flour mixture and pour in 1 cup of cold buttermilk. Gently stir until just combined.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times until it comes together.
- Roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter for a shiny, golden finish.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding shredded cheese or herbs to the dough.
- Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- For freezing, place baked biscuits in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag.
