Tall, golden, and impossibly tender, Butter Dip Biscuits are a Southern classic that requires nothing more than four pantry staples and a single pan. The batch costs under $4 to make, takes just 10 minutes to prepare, and is out of the oven in under half an hour. The secret lies in one counterintuitive step that home bakers have been quietly swearing by for generations.
En bref
- —Only 4 ingredients: butter, flour, milk, sugar
- —Ready in under 30 minutes, costs less than $4
- —No rolling or cutters — one pan, easy cleanup
Four ingredients, one pan, and a batch that costs under $4
The ingredient list for Butter Dip Biscuits is deliberately short: ½ cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, 2½ cups of self-rising flour, 1¾ cups of whole milk, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. That is it. No buttermilk, no shortening, no baking powder to measure separately — the self-rising flour handles the leavening.
