- Prep & Preheat
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment. - Cut in Butter
In a large bowl, add self-rising flour.
Use a pastry cutter, fork, or fingers to cut cold butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. - Add Buttermilk
Pour in cold buttermilk.
Stir gently with a fork just until moistened (do not overmix). - Drop & Bake
Scoop batter in ¼-cup mounds onto baking sheet (they’ll spread slightly).
Bake 12–14 minutes, until golden brown on top and bottom.
Brush with melted butter immediately after baking (optional but delicious!).
