Directions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, shortening, and a pinch of salt.

5. Gently pat or roll the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness.
6. Using a round biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out the biscuits.

8. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
9. Bake the biscuits for about 10 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
10. Once out of the oven, brush the biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor and a beautiful shine.
11. Enjoy your delicious homemade buttermilk biscuits while they’re still warm.
