Put 3 cups self rising flour into a bowl, best if you sift it first.

Shred butter into flour until pea sized crumbles form

Add 1 1/4 cups whole milk, butter milk, or even plain yogurt. If the dough really dry you can add a little more milk.

Stir with a fork just until combined, but don't overstir.

Lay out your Tea Towel and add a dusting of flour.

Now put the dough in the center of the towel.

Next, fold the towel over the dough and knead, checking to make sure it doesn't stick too much to the towel, but if it does, just add another dusting of flour.

Continue folding until it is a nice ball of dough, not too tough, not too soft…just right!

Pat out into a circle, you want it about 1/2 an inch thick

Use your biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out the biscuits, or just make square biscuits with a knife or pizza cutter.

Place the biscuits on a buttered pan, skillet or pan with parchment paper

Bake at 450° for about 10 minutes or until just a light golden brown.

Heat grease in skillet over medium heat

Add flour, whisk

Add salt and pepper to taste, I use about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 8-10 cracks of pepper

Whisk until the flour begins to brown

Add the milk little by little

Reduce heat to medium low

Simmer, stirring constantly

The gravy is ready when your spoon or whisk leaves tracks in the gravy

Pour the gravy over the biscuits! Yum!
