Baking comes much easier to me now but it hasn't always and biscuits are something you have to really get right for them to be warm, fluffy, and delicious southern style. The way I make them is super simple. I get asked often how, so here is my easy to follow recipe.
Easy Scratch Made Biscuits
2 cups of self-rising flour (I am a flour snob, I use King Arthur Flour)
1/4 tsp of baking soda
1/2 cup of chilled butter cut into tiny cubes
1 cup of milk (you may use buttermilk)
I use my KitchenAid stand mixer for the whole process. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and grease 2 round cake pans (or whatever you choose) with butter. Mix the flour and baking soda on the lowest speed until combined. Next, add the tiny cubes of butter and mix until combined and you have a coarse texture. Last add 1 cup of milk and mix until your dough pulls away from the sides and is incorporated into a sticky ball. If it's too sticky add a little more flour, if it's like normal bread dough and no stickiness add just a splash more of milk. Once the right texture is achieved, press the dough to about 1/2 to 1/3 inch thickness onto a lightly floured surface then cut out biscuits and put them barely touching in the cake pans. Bake for 10mins or until done (watch them, your oven may be done quicker). Let them cool for about 5mins in the pans then enjoy!
