• 1

  For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Whisk together 2 cups self-rising flour, 3 tsp. herbes de provence, and ¼ tsp. salt. Cut in 1 stick of butter. Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk. With your hands, slowly stir the buttermilk and flour together until no more buttermilk remains.

  Pour out on a floured surface, kneed together 2-3 times until just combined and there are still visible pieces of butter. Press out lightly with your hands. Fold the top third of the dough to the center, and overlap with the bottom. Roll out to 1/2 - 3/4 inch thickness. Minimally trim the edges to show off the inside layers. Cut the dough into 6 squares/rectangles.
