Ingredients:

• 3 cups White Lily Unbleached Self Rising Flour
• 6 TBSP unsalted butter, divided
• 1/4 cup full fat cream cheese
• 3/4 to 1 cup full fat ice cold buttermilk

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F.
2. Place two cups of your flour into a large mixing bowl and add 4 TBSP of butter. Using your hands, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles fine couscous.
3. Add your cream cheese in the same manner, mixing it in until fully incorporated.
4. Make a well in the middle of your dough and pour in the buttermilk. Scoop from the outside in with your hands as you mix. If the dough is too dry, add the remaining 1/4 cup of buttermilk and continue mixing until you have a crumbly but sticky wet dough.
5. Flour your working surface with the remaining 1 cup of flour and dump the dough onto it. Dust the top with flour and shape it into a circle.
6. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until it’s about an inch thick.
7. Firmly cut out each biscuit with a biscuit cutter and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
8. Melt the remaining butter and brush the tops of the biscuits with it.
9. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve and eat immediately.

Tips to Make The Best Biscuit Recipe Ever & The Easiest

• Make sure your butter is very cold when you cut it into the dough. This will help create flaky layers.
• Do not overmix the dough. Mix just enough to combine the ingredients for the best texture.
• For even better biscuits, use a biscuit cutter without twisting it as you cut; this helps the biscuits rise higher.

Variation

You can add cheese, herbs like rosemary or thyme, or even bacon bits to the dough to give your biscuits a unique flavor twist. Feel free to experiment with different additions that suit your taste.

FAQs

1. Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, but you will need to add baking powder and salt to your regular flour to mimic self-rising flour.

2. What can I use instead of buttermilk?
You can use milk with a splash of vinegar or lemon juice as a substitute for buttermilk.

3. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
It’s best to use the dough right after mixing to achieve the fluffiest biscuits. However, you can cut out the biscuits and refrigerate them for a few hours before baking.
