These Biscuits are super easy, super, fast and super yummy! They make any meal special.

 Oven Temp: 425° 

Makes about 12-14 biscuits 

2 Cups Self-Rising Flour

½ Cup cold butter, (no substitutions)

1 Cup Buttermilk 

Measure the 2 cups of Self-Rising flour into a medium bowl. Cut the butter into small chunks and add to the flour.  Using you hands, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resemble coarse meal.  Using a fork stir the buttermilk into the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.  Turn dough out onto a floured board and with floured hands knead three to four times.  

Roll or pat dough out to a ½ inch thickness.  Using a medium sized biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits. Repeat with remaining dough.  Place biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet.   

Bake biscuits for 12-14 minutes in a 425° oven.  Remove biscuits from the oven when they are puffed and slightly golden brown.  Place warm biscuits in a basket or bowl wrapped loosely in a clean linen towel.  Serve warm with butter, honey, jelly, and fruit preserves.  These will make your family so happy!
