9. CULINARY CORNER: The Best Homemade Quick Biscuits… Make this part of the recipe ahead and keep in your freezer for up to 6 months. Pull it out when you want to make these easy biscuits: Grate a stick of frozen butter on the larges holes of a box grater. Put the butter in a bowl with 2 1/2 cups of self-rising flour and toss to cover the butter. Put the butter/flour mixture in a zip-type bag and freeze until needed. To make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 425 °. Put the butter/flour mixture in a large bowl, making a well in the middle of it. Pour 1 cup of buttermilk into the well and stir to mix. Do not overmix. Turn the flaky doug out on a floured work surface and roll out to 3/4 inch thick. Fold into thirds and reroll. Repeat the fold and reroll 1/2 inch thick. Using a 2 to 2 1/2 inch round cutter that has been dipped into flour, cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps and cut more biscuits. Place very close together on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with buttermilk and sprinkle with flake salt. Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown. Yum!
