Ingredients

¾ cup unsalted butter ice cold - divided use
3 cups self-rising flour
¾ cup Sprite pour along side of cup and let foam settle

Instructions

Place ¼ cup of the butter (4 tablespoons) into a cast iron skillet and put in a cold oven.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F with the skillet inside.
Add the self-rising flour to a large mixing bowl.
Grate cold butter into the flour, stopping to stir gently occasionally.
Add in the Sprite and mix to form a dough. Stop mixing once all ingredients are combined. If the dough is dry and not coming together add more Sprite a tablespoon at a time, mixing gently.
Sprinkle flour generously over a working surface. Place the dough on the surface and gently pat into a ¾ to 1-inch thick round.
Cut into biscuits of your desired size. I used a clean, empty tomato paste can and got 15 biscuits.
Place the cut-out dough close together in the hot skillet.
Bake in preheated oven for about 12 to 15 minutes until they are 195F in the center.
Remove and let cool for just a few minutes to firm up.
Brush tops with honey butter, or butter if desired.

Notes

Storage:

Store baked biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze for up to 3 months.

Tips:

Depending on the size of your cutter you could get anywhere from 6 to 15 biscuits.
You can use salted butter but the biscuits may be quite salty.
If you don't have self-rising flour you can use all purpose flour. Just add 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt to each cup of flour.
