Ingredients
2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup whole milk (or buttermilk for extra tang)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing, optional but highly recommended)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and whole milk.
Stir with a spoon or spatula just until the ingredients are moistened and form a shaggy, sticky dough. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine and will lead to a more tender biscuit.
Using two spoons, or a small cookie scoop, drop approximately 2-tablespoon sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 1-2 inches between each biscuit to allow for expansion.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through. The exact baking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of your biscuits.
While the biscuits are still hot from the oven, brush the tops with melted butter, if desired. This adds a beautiful sheen and extra richness.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
