Substitutions

If you don’t have self rising flour, you can make your own by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. You can also use buttermilk instead of regular milk for a tangier flavor and more tender texture.

Storage

These self rising flour drop biscuits are best served fresh and warm, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, wrap the biscuits in foil and warm them in a 350°F (177°C) oven for 5-10 minutes.

Tips

• Make sure to use cold butter and cold milk to keep the dough from becoming too soft and sticky.
• Don’t overwork the dough, or the biscuits will become tough and dense. Mix until just combined.
• For even baking, make sure to space the biscuits at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
• If you don’t have a pastry cutter, you can use a fork, two knives, or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour.

Notes

This recipe makes about 10 medium-sized biscuits, but you can easily double or triple it to feed a crowd.
