Gorgeous Golden Mile-High Biscuits

Breakfast of champions, inspired by a 94-year-old grandma's technique and my own recipe.

Ingredients:

• White Lily (unbleached) Self-Rising Flour
• Cold butter, grated
• Buttermilk
• Melted butter (for brushing before baking)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F.
2. Mix the Ingredients:
   • In a bowl, combine White Lily self-rising flour and grated cold butter. No specific measurements, but approximately 3-4 cups of flour and a stick of grated butter.
3. Add Buttermilk:
   • Gradually add whole buttermilk to the mixture until the dough reaches the desired consistency.
4. Knead and Shape:
   • Fold the dough by hand 5-6 times in a biscuit bowl.
   • Pinch off portions of the dough and hand-roll them into biscuits.
5. Arrange in Pan:
   • Place the shaped biscuits in a square bread pan with 1-inch sides, touching each other.
6. Flatten and Brush with Butter:
   • Gently pat the biscuits down to make them somewhat flat on top.
   • Apply melted butter to the surfaces of the biscuits using a brush
7. Bake:
   • Place in the oven that has been preheated and bake until the biscuits achieve a golden brown color.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Let the biscuits cool for a bit before serving.

Tips:

• For optimal results, use White Lily unbleached self-rising flour.
• Grating cold butter into the flour ensures a buttery flavor throughout the biscuits.
• Adjust the amount of buttermilk until the dough reaches the desired consistency.
• Hand rolling and patting the biscuits down contribute to their rustic texture.
