In a bowl, whisk self-rising flour and sugar.
Stir in milk just until moistened—do not overmix.
3. Pour & Bake
Carefully remove hot pan; pour batter over melted butter.
Gently spread into corners—the butter will swirl on top (that’s the magic!).
Lightly score into 9 squares with a knife (don’t cut through).
Bake 20–25 minutes until deep golden brown and puffed.
4. Rest & Serve
Let sit 5–10 minutes to set.
Lift out using foil; cut along scored lines.
Serve warm with butter, honey, jam, or gravy.

❤️ The Heart of the Biscuit
This isn’t just bread—it’s a taste of Southern grace and generosity. It’s what grandmothers made when company came, saying, “There’s always room at the table.”
So melt that butter, pour that batter, and bake with joy. Because the best biscuits aren’t perfect—they’re warm, humble, and made with love.
“Good Butter Dip Biscuits don’t need a rolling pin—they just need kindness, and someone hungry.” 🧈✨
