I promise it’s also relatively quick and easy compared to some recipes. First, gather those 3 ingredients: butter, self-rising flour, and buttermilk. You’ll need cold butter and melted butter, and additional flour for dusting too. Then we cut together the cold butter and flour, let it sit for 15 minutes, and then stir in the buttermilk. Yep, that’s all it takes to make the dough.
Then follow my step-by-step instructions (there’s also a handy-dandy video in the recipe card) to learn how to knead the buttermilk biscuit dough. It won’t take long! Finish by cutting the biscuits and baking them in the oven for about 15 minutes. Brush them with the melted butter as soon as they’re out of the oven and you’re done!

- Put the butter slices on top of the flour in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the flour with a long-tined fork or pastry cutter until crumbly. Cover and chill for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add buttermilk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead 3 or 4 times, gradually dusting with additional flour as needed. With floured hands, press or pat dough into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle (about 9×5). Sprinkle the top of the dough with additional flour.
- Fold the dough over into itself (like you are folding a piece of paper into a letter) in three sections. Repeat this process 2 more times, beginning with pressing it into a 3/4-inch-thick dough rectangle (about 9×5).

- Press or pat dough to a 1/2-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut with a 2-inch round biscuit cutter or glass and place the biscuits side-by-side on a parchment paper-lined or lightly greased cookie sheet. Try to make sure they touch because this will help them rise higher.
- Bake at 450 degrees for 13 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and immediately brush them with melted butter.
