Ingredients
  • 2 C self-rising flour
  • 5 T Butter (COLD)
  • 0.75 C Milk (maybe a splash more)
  • Extra flour for hands
  • Butter, shortening, or bacon grease to grease skillet
Instructions

  2. 2
    Grease a cast iron skillet generously.
  3. 3
    Make a flour pile
  4. 4
    Cut in butter using fingers or pastry cutter. Stop when it looks like small flakes + crumbs, not sand
  5. 5
    Make a well and pour in milk gradually.
  6. 6
