Instructions
- Slice the cold unsalted butter into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices (about 6 slices). In a large bowl, add the self-rising flour and toss in the butter slices. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture is crumbly and resembles small peas. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly butter a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Add the buttermilk to the flour mixture, gently stirring with a fork until the flour is moistened. The dough will be very sticky. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3 or 4 times, gradually adding more flour as needed. Using floured hands, press and pat the dough into a 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick rectangle, measuring about 9 by 5 inches (23 cm by 12 cm).
- Sprinkle the dough with a little more flour. Starting at a short end, fold the dough over onto itself in three sections, as if folding a letter-size piece of paper. You should end up with a rectangle shape. Press the dough into a 3/4-inch (2 cm) thickness again and repeat the entire process two more times, adding additional flour as needed.
- Press and pat the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch (1 cm) on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough with a floured 2-inch (5 cm) cutter. Place the biscuits on the baking sheet. Gather the dough scraps and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used up.
- Bake the biscuits for 13 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Brush the tops with melted butter and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite preserves.
