As a Southerner and our household cook, I experimented until I hit on just the right biscuit recipe. It practically screams to be smothered in gravy or stuffed with eggs and sausage. —Susan Flippin, Mt. Airy, NC

Ingredients

2-1/3 cups self-rising flour, divided
1/4 cup cold butter or shortening
3/4 to 1 cup 2% milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. Place 2 cups flour in a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is the size of peas. Stir in 3/4 cup milk. Dough should be sticky; if needed, stir in some of the remaining milk.
Place remaining flour in a small bowl. Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup dipped in flour, remove a scant 1/4 cup dough from bowl and drop into flour; gently turn to coat. Place in greased cast-iron or other ovenproof pan. Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Brush with melted butter; serve warm.
