Momma's Best Biscuits
2 cups self-rising flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick Butter
3/4 cup milk
Preheat oven to 425. In large mixing bowl, mix sifted or fluffed with a spoon flour,sugar and salt together. Add butter and cut it into flour until it is the size of a peas. Make a well in the middle of bowl and add milk. Mix with your hand or fork until dough forms. Put on floured surface and lightly knead. I use my hand to form to desired thickness and then cut out with biscuit cutter, careful to not twist while I cut out biscuits. You may brush with melted butter before placing in the oven but I do this after they are baked. Bake about 15-20 or until browned.
