Ingredients:
• 2 cups of self-rising flour
• About a cup of buttermilk
• 1/3 cup of shortening
• A pinch of salt
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, shortening, and a pinch of salt.
2. Pour in about a cup of buttermilk.
3. Mix the ingredients until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; you want the dough to be just combined.
4. On a floured surface, turn out the dough.
5. Gently pat or roll the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness.
6. Using a round biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out the biscuits.
7. Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.
8. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
9. Bake the biscuits for about 10 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
10. Once out of the oven, brush the biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor and a beautiful shine.
11. Enjoy your delicious homemade buttermilk biscuits while they’re still warm.
