Southern-Style Biscuits
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
YIELD: 8 biscuits.
As a Southerner and our household cook, I experimented until I hit on just the right recipe for southern-style biscuits. They practically scream to be smothered in gravy or stuffed with eggs and sausage. —Susan Flippin, Mount Airy, North Carolina
Ingredients
-
2-1/3 cups self-rising flour, divided
-
1/4 cup cold butter or shortening
-
3/4 to 1 cup 2% milk
-
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
-
1.
Preheat oven to 375°. Place 2 cups flour in a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is the size of peas. Stir in 3/4 cup milk. Dough should be sticky; if needed, stir in some of the remaining milk.
-
2.
Place remaining flour in a small bowl. Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup dipped in flour, remove a scant 1/4 cup dough from bowl and drop into flour; gently turn to coat. Place in a greased cast-iron or other ovenproof pan. Repeat with remaining dough.

3.
Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Brush with melted butter; serve warm.
