One day I was just setting around the house thinking to myself I would really love to start making homemade recipes of my own . That particular day I was craving biscuits so I thought why not start by making homemade biscuits. I gave it a shot and my biscuits were horrible. A couple of days later I thought I would give it another try and to my surprise they turned out perfect. I have been using this recipe every since. Enjoy!!! :)

2 1/4 cups self rising flour
