Preheat the oven

Grate the cold butter

• Grate the cold butter into a large mixing bowl.

Make the dough

• Add the self-rising flour to the bowl with the grated butter.
• Pour in the whole milk.
• Mix thoroughly until a dough forms; it will be very sticky.

Shape the biscuits

• Cut out the biscuits with a cup or a biscuit cutter.

Grease the skillet

• Generously butter a cast iron skillet or baking dish.
• Arrange the biscuits in the skillet.

Bake the biscuits

Brush with melted butter

• Melt the remaining butter while the biscuits bake.
• As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the tops with the melted butter.
