Southern Buttermilk Buscuits
This is my go to biscuit recipe from Taste of Home. A delicious, buttery biscuit that only uses 4 ingredients and takes a few minutes to prepare. I take advantage of my food processor to do the work making the dough. If not using a food processor, use a pastry cutter or forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture, then stir in the buttermilk

Ingredients

- 2 cups self rising flour see notes for recipe substitute
- 3/4 cup buttermilk see notes for recipe substitute
- 1 1/2 tbsp butter melted, more if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet
- Add flour to food processor. Add cold cubed butter and pulse until mixture resembles course crumbs. Alternatively, add flour and cubed butter into a large bowl and cut butter into flour using pastry cutter or forks
- Add buttermilk and mix in food processor or bowl until moistened. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead 3-4 times. Pat or lightly roll into 3/4 inch thickness. Cut with a floured 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter
- Place biscuits on prepared baking sheet with biscuits touching. Brush on melted butter. Bake in preheated oven for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown. Brush on additional melted butter after removing from oven if desired
