For the most tender biscuits, avoid overworking the dough.
White Lily flour is recommended for its low protein content, which contributes to a lighter texture.
The amount of buttermilk may vary depending on the humidity and the flour used. Add it gradually until the dough just comes together.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings or alongside a hearty breakfast.

    The brushing of melted butter at the end is a must – it adds so much flavor!

    These biscuits are incredibly easy to make and taste just like my grandmother's!

  • Melvin Rogahndicki

    I used a different brand of self-rising flour and they still turned out great. Maybe a little denser, but delicious nonetheless.
