Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits

1/2 cup butter or margarine (1 stick)

2 cups self-rising flour

3/4 cup buttermilk

Butter or margarine, melted

Cut 1/2 cup butter into flour with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 3 or 4 times.

Roll dough to 3/4-inch thickness, cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 13 to 15 minutes. Brush with melted butter. Yield: 1 dozen
