This recipe provides a quick and versatile homemade biscuit mix that can be used for various delicious creations.
Combine the self-rising flour and cold butter in a mixing bowl.
Use a pastry blender or your fingers to incorporate the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Store the prepared biscuit mix in an airtight container.
If using butter, refrigerate the mix for longer shelf life.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Measure 2 cups of the biscuit mix into a bowl and add enough milk to form a soft dough.
Add the milk gradually to avoid making the dough too wet.
Roll or pat the dough to a 3/4-inch thickness on a floured surface.
Chill the dough for 15 minutes before rolling for easier handling.
Cut out biscuits using a floured cutter and place them on a baking sheet.
Use a sharp cutter for clean edges, which helps the biscuits rise evenly.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning.
Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings or sides.
Brush the tops with melted butter for extra flavor.
