Special Notes

These incredibly simple biscuits require just three ingredients and come together in minutes. The key is to use cold butter and not overmix the dough. The self-rising flour already contains baking powder and salt, making this recipe foolproof. Perfect for breakfast, dinner, or any time you need quick, homemade bread.
