I have never been able to master a easy biscuit recipe until I made the switch to self-rising flour. Mama always told me to make the switch and for some stubborn reason of mine I felt like I was cheating. I know, I know. It seems silly but I was convinced. But I am here to say I was so wrong and this 3 ingredient biscuit recipe is to show for it. If you want the EASIEST and TASTIEST biscuit you ever put in your mouth then look no further.
3‑Ingredient Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 stick butter, frozen and a couple tablespoons for the tops
- 1 cup cold milk (buttermilk optional)
Directions
- Preheat a 10″ cast iron skillet in a 450 degree oven. Place a little dollop of butter or grease in the bottom of the pan to melt.
- Add your flour to a large mixing bowl
- Using a cheese grater, grate your butter into the bowl. Squeeze the butter into the flour until crumbly
- Add milk and stir around the edges of the bowl about 15 times. DON’T overmix…trust me on this
- Turn dough on to a floured surface
- Using a rolling pin, roll dough about 5 times before folding in half and turning 90 degrees. Repeat 5 times.
- One your dough is workable but not sticky roll it out flat to desired thickness. I like a good fluffy biscuit so I keep my dough on the thicker side.
- Remove your cast iron from the oven
- Use a biscuit cutter, mason jar lid or a cup to cut your biscuits and arrange them in your hot pan. Make sure the edges of the biscuits are touching, this helps them to rise. Brush tops with a bit of melted butter.
- Bake at 450 degrees until tops are golden brown. Approximately 10–15 minutes depending on your oven.
- Serve immediately with butter, honey or jelly. Yields about 10 biscuits
