3 ingredient biscuits that will change your life? I know it’s a big claim, but how about if I told you you can make tall, fluffy, moist biscuits in minutes, and I’ll even throw in a prep ahead tip that makes them crazy convenient. You’re gonna love them, and your family’s gonna love you 😉

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Biscuits are delicious but they shouldn’t be difficult or time-consuming to make. We’ve all got better things to do. My easy method for making simple, high-rise, fluffy biscuits is the best I’ve found. And good news, it takes just minutes of your time.

Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Food processor or bowl and pastry cutter
• Biscuit cutter (2 1/2 inches)
• Baking sheet or cast iron skillet

Ingredients

• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 1/4 cup cold butter, plus more for brushing (optional)
• 3/4 cup cold buttermilk, plus more for brushing (optional)

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Give it enough time to get there; you want it hot.
• Put the flour and cold butter in a food processor or mix by hand. Pulse or mix until the butter is incorporated and the mixture is crumbly.
• Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in the buttermilk just until everything is moistened.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and bring it together gently with your hands. Don’t overwork the dough. Pat or roll it out to about 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut out 8 biscuits with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, reforming the dough if necessary.
• Place biscuits on a baking sheet, in a cast iron skillet, or a biscuit baker, and brush lightly with buttermilk if desired. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden and risen.
• If you like, brush the hot biscuits immediately with melted butter, and enjoy.

Tips for Success

• Use cold butter and cold buttermilk.
• Make sure to preheat your oven and give it sufficient time to get up to temperature.
• Don’t overwork your dough.
• Cut your biscuits with a sharp-edged cutter and don’t twist as you cut. Cut straight up and down.

Additional Tips or Variations

For a cheesy twist, add a handful of shredded cheddar to the dough before baking. You can also sprinkle some herbs like rosemary or thyme for an aromatic touch.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?

Yes, you can use regular flour. Just add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt per cup of flour.

Can I substitute the buttermilk?

If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by mixing 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar with enough milk to make 1 cup. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
