Print Recipe

A simple and quick biscuit recipe using only three ingredients—self-rising flour, baking powder, and whole milk—that yields fluffy, tender biscuits without the need for buttermilk.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 grams) self-rising flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) whole milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups (240g) of self-rising flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
  3. Pour in 3/4 cup (180ml) of whole milk. Stir gently with a fork or your hand until the dough just comes together. It should be slightly sticky but not overly wet. If it feels too dry, add a splash more milk, a tablespoon at a time.
  4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Lightly flour your countertop and gently fold the dough over itself 3 to 4 times to create layers without over-kneading.
  5. Pat the dough to about 1-inch (2.5 cm) thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass dipped in flour to cut out rounds. Press straight down for the best rise.
  6. Arrange biscuits on a baking sheet about an inch apart. For softer sides, place them close so they touch; for crispier edges, space them out.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until biscuits puff up and develop a light golden top.
  8. Cool slightly on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overwork the dough to keep biscuits fluffy. Use cold milk if possible to slow gluten formation. Cut biscuits straight down without twisting to ensure proper rise. For extra buttery biscuits, brush tops with melted butter after baking. You can add herbs, cheese, or sugar for variations. Store biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
