What's better than butter melting into a piping hot, fresh-out-of-the-oven biscuit? Not much. And this quick and easy shortcut buttermilk biscuit recipe is so easy, it's almost too good to be true.
The light, tender biscuits have just three simple ingredients. Here is your shopping list for this buttermilk biscuits recipe: self-rising flour, vegetable shortening and buttermilk. Nothing more. The shortcut recipe bakes up in about 12 minutes in the oven.
Be sure to use self-rising flour, not regular all-purpose flour, for this recipe. Also be sure not to overmix the dough for the most tender biscuits.
Serve these biscuits hot out of the oven with jelly, jam, honey, maple syrup or just butter for breakfast or brunch. These biscuits would also be delicious served with cinnamon-sugar for dessert.
