How To Make mimi's small batch buttermilk biscuits

• Step 1
  Preheat your oven to 425°. Using a fork, cut the cold butter shavings into the self-rising flour.
• Step 2
  Mix in the buttermilk with the crumbled self-rising flour just until it becomes a loose ball. Do not over mix!
• Step 3
  You may need to add a little more flour to get it into a loose ball, the key here is not to handle the dough too much.
• Step 4
  Turn the dough out onto a floured board and scrape any leftover out of the bowl on to the ball.
• Step 5
  Again, do not over mix. Using your hands that have been floured well gently fold over onto itself a couple of times. Roll into a slightly flattened ball.
• Step 6
  Using a dough cutter, gently cut into four even pieces. Take each piece and gently roll the sides into some more flour and put these four pieces into a slightly greased small skillet. The key here is that they are touching. Biscuits rise more when they're bumped up close to each other.
• Step 7
  I grease my skillet with leftover bacon drippings. I also put the bacon drippings on top before it goes into the oven.
• Step 8
  Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until slightly brown on top. Remove from the oven, gently open each biscuit using a fork, and place a pat of butter in each! Enjoy....
