Description
Quick and easy biscuits made with just self-rising flour, shortening, and milk, ready in under 15 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- ¼ cup shortening
- ¾ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour to fluff and remove clumps.
- Add ¼ cup shortening and blend until it resembles cornmeal.
- Add ¾ cup milk and stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough a few times until smooth, adding flour if too sticky.
- Pat the dough until it’s about ¾ inch thick.
- Cut out biscuits with a cutter, pressing down without twisting.
- Place biscuits into a greased baking pan or on parchment paper.
- Bake for 8–12 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
Notes
For best texture, keep ingredients cold and don’t over-knead. A sharp cutter helps achieve a good rise.
