Breakfast: 3-Ingredient Buttermilk Biscuits

Recipe by Molly Baz In Epi's 3-Ingredient Recipes series, we show you how to make great food with just three ingredients (plus staples like oil, salt, and pepper).Here, we make flaky biscuits with just 3 ingredients.

Ingredients

2 cups self-rising flour, plus more
1/4 cup chilled vegetable shortening
2/3 cup buttermilk

Instructions

Position rack in middle of oven; preheat to 500 °F. Grease a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick vegetable oil spray or butter.
Place 2 cups flour in a large bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry cutter or 2 butter knives until pea-sized lumps form. Stir in buttermilk until a shaggy dough forms.
On a lightly floured work surface, turn out dough and gently knead 2 –3 times until dough just comes together, being careful to not overwork. Roll out dough to a 1/2" thickness; cut with a 2" biscuit cutter or small glass that has been dipped in flour.
Transfer biscuits to prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 6 –8 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
