Grandma's Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits
These southern-style buttermilk biscuits will melt in your mouth and they're so easy to make!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 cups self-rising flour
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1¼ cup buttermilk
- Butter, to taste Optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place your flour in a large bowl.
- Make a “hole” in the middle--use your fingers or a spoon to dig.
- Pour the oil into the hole, then gradually add the buttermilk and combine with a fork until roughly mixed. Don't over mix! You want the dough to be chunky and lumpy.
- Knead the mixture with your hands in the bowl, the lay the dough on a flat, lightly floured surface.
- Roll the dough with a pin, aiming for a thick consistency. (No one likes thin, wimpy biscuits!)
- Cut circles out of the dough using a glass jar or cookie cutter.
- Place on a cookie sheet and let them rise for 5-10 minutes.
- Place a dab of butter on the top of each biscuit, then bake for around 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
