Ruby Slipper Buttermilk Biscuits - recipe from the Ruby Slipper/Ruby Sunshine restaurant. These are the BEST biscuits and super easy to make with only 3 ingredients - self-rising flour, butter, and buttermilk. Can make in advance and freeze for later. Great for an easy weekday breakfast or overnight guests. #biscuits #buttermilk
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine self-rising flour and grated butter. Toss gently to incorporate the butter into the flour.
Gently mix in half of the buttermilk into the flour mixture. Add remaining buttermilk and gently combine.
Knead dough until just combined. Remove from the bowl and place on a floured surface.
Gently knead dough a few times, adding more flour if the dough is too sticky. Fold dough over on itself 3 times, and press to 1-1/2 inch thickness.
Cut out biscuits with a 3-inch cutter. Place biscuits on prepared pan.
Press together unused dough and repeat kneading and cutting.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown. Brush baked biscuits with melted butter, if desired.
Notes:
You can bake the biscuits from frozen, you will just need to add a few minutes to the cooking time.I used White Lily Self-Rising Flour. 2.5 pounds of flour is approximately 9.5 cups.
