You only need three simple ingredients for the best buttermilk biscuits!

Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups self-rising flour (I prefer White Lily brand)
- ½ cup (1 stick) very cold salted butter
- 1 cup very cold whole buttermilk, well shaken
- 2 tablespoons melted salted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Place flour in a large mixing bowl. Using the larger holes on a box grater, grate the stick of butter into the flour.
- Use your fingers to coat all of the butter with flour, and then work the butter into the flour with your finger tips for about 2 minutes. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the buttermilk, and stir with a wooden spoon (or with your hands) just until a shaggy dough comes together.
- Turn the dough onto a well-floured work surface. Fold the dough over onto itself 6-8 times, just until it comes together. Pat the dough into a rectangle that’s about ¾ inch thick. Use a 2 ½ -inch round biscuit cutter to punch out the biscuits (do not twist the cutter). Arrange the biscuits on the parchment-lined baking sheet with sides touching. Re-roll the scraps and cut out additional biscuits until all of the dough is used. If time allows, place the biscuits back in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to chill again before baking.
- Bake for 11-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush the hot biscuits with the melted butter. Serve warm.
Notes
- In a pinch, you can make your own buttermilk at home to use in this recipe. To do so, pour either 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice or 1 tablespoon of white vinegar into a large measuring cup. Add enough milk to equal 1 cup of liquid. Give it a stir, let it sit for about 5 minutes, and then use it in the recipe as directed!
- If you don't have a bag of self-rising flour in your pantry, that's no problem. You can make 1 cup of self-rising flour by placing 1 cup of all-purpose flour in a bowl. Whisk in 1 teaspoon of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt. This recipe calls for 2 ½ cups of self-rising flour, so you would need to combine 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour with 2 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon of salt.
