Equipment

Baking Sheet
mixing bowl

Ingredients

2 cups self-rising flour (for all purpose flour, see notes below)
½ cup butter
1 cup milk (whole is recommended for best results)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450ºF.
Using a medium-sized bowl, add 2 cups of self rising flour. Unwrap stick of cold butter and grate butter over the flour, then stir to evenly distribute the butter.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients (flour and butter). Pour the milk in the well and stir, just until the dough comes together and way from the walls of the bowl - about 30 seconds. For the flaky, tender biscuits, do not over mix.
Grease or line baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or ice cream scoop, scoop batter onto the baking sheet. This recipe makes 8 - 10 biscuits.
Bake for 13-15 minutes, until golden in color. Serve warm.

Notes

TFN Pro Tip:

Save money by having a stash of homemade pantry staples and seasonings on hand so you can bake whenever the urge strikes!
Start by learning self rising flour homemade, and Bisquick mix homemade.
Place your butter in the freezer for 15 minutes before making the recipe. It will be easier to grate.
For the most tender, flaky drop biscuits with self rising flour, use a light touch. The best biscuit dough is created from minimal stirring.

Recipe Variations:

Add jalapenos and shredded cheese to the dough to make jalapeno cheese biscuits.
Make herb biscuits by sprinkling 1-2 teaspoons of your favorite dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or parsley to the top before baking.
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the batter to make sweet biscuits for strawberry shortcake.

How to Store and Reheat:

If you are lucky enough to have any leftovers, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or beeswax wrap and store them at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Or wrap in foil and freeze biscuits for up to 3 weeks. To reheat, bake them at 300º for 10 minutes.
