Small batch biscuits
Today, I thought that I would make breakfast biscuits for two because there are only two people in my household. Although my recipe makes four biscuits, one biscuit that's 2-1/2 inches in diameter is an actual serving size. My husband always wants more than one biscuit. So this is the reason why I make four instead of two. If you'd like to make only two biscuits, reduce the ingredients by half. There are around 212 calories in one 2-1/2-inch-diameter biscuit. This calorie count does not include the extra calories when butter, honey, jam, sausage, eggs, bacon, or cheese are added to the meal.
Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups of self-rising flour
6 tablespoons of butter
1 cup of water or milk
Instructions:
In a large bowl with a nice flat bottom, add all the self-rising flour and the butter.
Cut the butter into the flour using a large fork. Pour the water or milk into the mixture and stir until the dough forms a ball. If needed, knead the dough four to six times with clean hands to bring it together.
Next, pat the dough down evenly until it's about 1-1/2 inches thick while it's inside the bowl. At this stage, you can turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it out, if you'd prefer.
Dip your biscuit cutter into some flour and cut your biscuits out. You should be able to cut four biscuits.
Place the cut dough on a greased baking tray, then transfer the pan to a 425-degree oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes.
