3 Ingredient Self-Rising Flour Drop Biscuits
Self-Rising Flour Biscuits are the easiest biscuits you will ever make! The dough for these drop biscuits comes together in less than 10 minutes and uses only 3 ingredients: self-rising flour, butter, and milk or buttermilk!
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups 270 grams self-rising flour
- ½ cup 1 stick, 113 grams cold butter (salted or unsalted), cut into small pieces
- ¾ cup-1 cup 175-240 mililiters milk or buttermilk (can be dairy milk or non-diary)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 F/230 C.
- Place the flour in a large mixing bowl. If you want to add any herbs or spices you can add them here.
- Add the pieces of cold butter and cut into the flour with a pastry cutter or fork until the consistency of coarse meal. If you want to add any cheeses or other add-ins you can stir them in here before adding the milk.
- Add 3/4 cup of the milk and stir just until combined. You can use any milk you like or buttermilk if you want a tangy flavor. If the batter is very dry, add a little more milk until the consistency of a very thick batter. Do not over-mix. The batter will be quite lumpy.
- Drop large mounds (about 1/4 cup each. I use a 2 oz scoop) onto a baking sheet. You can also use a cast iron skille that has been greased with butter.
- Bake at 450 F/230 C for 18-22 minutes until golden brown
- Brush with melted butter before serving if desired.
