Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | Self Rising Flour |
| 2/3 cup | Milk |

| 3 tbsp | Shortening |
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450ยฐF (232ยฐC). This ensures that your biscuits will bake evenly and rise beautifully.
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, milk, egg, and shortening. Stir until the ingredients are well incorporated and form a soft dough.
-
Prepare the Surface: Lightly flour a clean surface or countertop. This prevents the dough from sticking and makes it easier to roll out.
-
Roll Out the Dough: Place the dough onto the floured surface and gently roll it out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this can result in tough biscuits.
-
Cut the Biscuits: Using a biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter, cut out biscuits from the rolled-out dough. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each biscuit.
-
Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the biscuits for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and have risen beautifully.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, jam, honey, or your favorite toppings.
-
Enjoy: Indulge in the warm, fluffy goodness of these homemade self-rising biscuits. Whether enjoyed at breakfast, brunch, or as a delightful snack, theyโre sure to be a hit with everyone!
Tips:
- For extra flavor, consider adding grated cheese, herbs, or spices to the dough before baking.
- If you donโt have self-rising flour on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to every cup of all-purpose flour.
- To make smaller or larger biscuits, simply adjust the size of your biscuit cutter and adjust the baking time accordingly.
With just a few simple steps, you can enjoy homemade biscuits that are fluffy, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion. Whether youโre serving them for breakfast, brunch, or alongside your favorite comfort foods, these self-rising biscuits are sure to become a beloved favorite in your recipe repertoire. So why wait?
