This is a classic recipe that has stood the test of time. I can just see past generations of women making biscuits exactly like this every morning for their families. When baked in a cast-iron skillet these biscuits have a golden, crunchy edge and a soft center. I serve these biscuits with a side of strawberry preserves and eggs that are packed with spinach, ham, and cheese. (recipes included on the blog)
Ingredients:
– 2 cups self-rising flour
– ½ stick butter, cold
– 1 cup buttermilk
– Coconut oil, liquid or melted
Directions:
- Add flour to a medium mixing bowl and grate butter over the top. Gently toss with your hands to coat the butter.
- Add buttermilk and mix with your hands until all flour is incorporated. Try not to overmix.
- Place dough onto a floured surface and create an oblong shape using your hands about one inch thick. Use circular biscuit cutters to cut biscuits out.
- Add coconut oil to a plate and coat each biscuit on both sides with oil then place in a pan or cast-iron skillet.
- Bake at 425°F for 18 minutes. Remove from pan, slice each biscuit in half and add a dab of butter then put biscuit back together. Serve with homemade gravy or preserves.
