MASON JAR SELF BUTTERING BISCUITS


2-1/2 cups flour
4 tsp. sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. kosher salt


Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl whisk together flour. sugar, and salt. When your oven is up to temperature, place one Tbsp. of butter in each of 8 half-pint wide mouth mason jars. Place them on a tray and heat in the oven until the butter is melted. Remove from oven, and using a potholder, pick up jar and swirl butter around the center of each jar. Quickly stir milk into flour mixture until smooth, and using a large ice-cream scoop, scoop a heaping spoonful of dough into each jar. Poke a butterknife in the center of each biscuit and move around to loosen the biscuit from the bottom of the jar. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown on top and biscuits are cooked through. Remove from oven, gently run a knife around each and using a potholder, turn each biscuit out on a platter.

Yield: 8 servings.
