Self-rising (or self-raising) flour is a variety flour that combines all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt; 3 of the most common baking ingredients. The idea is that the flour can be used to quickly create all kinds of baked goods such as biscuits, muffins, pancakes, etc… without having to measure out quite as many ingredients. Prep Time: 10 mins. Cook Time: 20 mins. Total Time: 30 mins.
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter, cold
3/4 cup - 1 1/4 cup milk or buttermilk, cold 1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees and light spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Place flour into mixing bowl and cut in shortening until well incorporated. Stir in just enough milk until dough leaves the sides of the bowl.
3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead two or three times. Roll dough out to 1/2 inch thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter or small glass that has been dipped in flour. Place biscuits into prepared baking sheet, and bake at 450 F (232 C) for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
