Biscuits

a la Southern Living

1/2 c cold unsalted butter

2 c self-rising flour

3/4 c buttermilk

1 t salt

Preheat to 400. Sift flour into a pile on sanitized counter top. Grate cold butter over flour with a box cheese grater. Combine the 2 together with hands until resembles course cornmeal. Slowly add buttermilk and mix with hands until comes together as a dough. Knead together 2 or 3 times. Roll our dough to 1/2 in thickness. Cut out with 2 inch round cookie cutter and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake until golden brown on the bottom of biscuits, approximately 15 minutes. Serve warm with honey butter.

Chef's Note: When I made these, I mixed the ingredients in a jelly-roll pan instead of the counter. It made the mess easier to contain.
