  • 3 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup butter (unsalted)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 425F
  • In a large bowl, whisk flour and sugar
  • Cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly
  • Slowly add the buttermilk, stirring with a wooden spoon until it forms a loose dough
  • Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface and form into a square about 1 inch thick
  • Cut into quarters, stack on top of each other, and roll out again
  • Roll into a square, cut, and stack once more
  • Finally, roll into a rectangle about 3/4 inch thick
  • Cut into about 15-20 pieces
  • Place the cut biscuits on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for 10 minutes (this makes them more fluffy)

  • Bake for about 15 minutes, until golden brown
  • Serve warm with butter or jelly
