Ingredients

The following ingredients have 30 Servings
  • 2 1/3 cups Buttermilk or use my Make Your Own Buttermilk recipe
  • 6 cups Self-Rising Flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 3/4 cups Lard (Butter, Shortening or a Combination)*)
  • Melted Salted Butter (for brushing)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 475 F.
  • In a large bowl sift together the self rising flour and salt.
  • Grate the butter into the flour mixture and gently combine with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Pour in the buttermilk and gently mix with a fork until it all comes together.
  • Flour a flat surface and turn out the dough and knead it 10 to 15 times. (Sprinkle on some flour if you need to so it will come together in a ball so it's less sticky.)
  • Roll out dough to 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick and use a biscuit cutter to cut medium to small circles.
  • Place in a cast iron skillet or on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  • Remove from oven and immediately brush on melted butter.
  • Cover with towel to keep warm
