These Easy Self-Rising Flour Buttermilk Biscuits are just that! Easy! The only ingredients in the biscuits are self-rising flour, butter, a little sugar, and buttermilk! That’s it!
The other morning I wanted biscuits but I was kind of dreading having to get out all the ingredients together. While gathering my flour and other ingredients, I realized that I had a package of self-rising flour. I do love my homemade buttermilk biscuits from scratch, but as an alternative, I knew these are easy and quick and absolutely delicious. They turned out perfect!

Here’s the simple recipe:
Easy Self-Rising Buttermilk Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups Self-Rising Flour
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 1/2 cup butter or shortening
- 3/4-1 cup buttermilk, more if needed
- Green tops of scallions, finely chopped (optional)
- Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and sugar. I grate the butter with a box grater. Using your hands (that's what I do) or a pastry cutter, blend the butter in until it is crumbly. If you are adding the chopped scallions and black pepper, add them to the dry ingredients. Stir in the buttermilk until dough comes together adding more buttermilk as needed. I prefer a wetter dough than dry. You can add more flour as you knead. Knead a couple of times on a floured surface until a smooth dough forms. Roll to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut the dough with floured 2 1/2 floured biscuit cutter or cutter of your choice. Sometime I make small for appetizers that I fill with ham and mustard. On an ungreased sheet pan, place touching if you want soft sides or 1 inch apart if you want crusty sides. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
