What a fun biscuit to make! These are based on my Pool of Butter Biscuits, but have been adapted for the jar. Of course. Now the cool thing about these guys is that they are practically frying in their own little pool O’Butter, and when taken from the oven, that little biscuit works like a sponge absorbing all that butter making a crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside biscuit.
And sometimes if you are very quick at dumping these from the jars, you may just get a little pool O’Butter on your plate.
My favorite way to serve these biscuits is with a big ole breakfast of sausage gravy, taters, and a big bowl of fresh strawberries.
Self Buttering Biscuits
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour
4 tsp. sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. Kosher salt
1 1/3 cups milk
1 stick butter divided into 8 tablespoons
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. When your oven is up to temperature, place one tablespoon of butter in each of eight 1/2 pint wide mouth mason jars. Place them on a tray and heat in oven until the butter is melted. Remove from oven, and using a pot holder, pick up jar and swirl butter around the edges 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 butter knife in the center of each biscuit and move around a bit to loosen the biscuit from the bottom of the jar. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown on top and biscuit is cooked through. Remove from oven, gently run a knife around each biscuit and using a pot holder, turn each biscuit out on a platter. Serve with a nice big breakfast. Makes 8 large biscuits.
No jar? Then try these Pool of Butter Biscuits.
Sausage Gravy- Brown 2 pounds of breakfast sausage. Do not drain. Stir in 1/2 cup flour to coat meat. Pour in 3 cups of milk, stir, and simmer until thickened. Salt and pepper to taste if needed. Add red pepper flakes if you like it spicy. See? Easy.

Love it! Don't ever stop making things in jars Robin Sue!!!
And my son LOVES biscuits and gravy, so I'll have to try your recipe out really soon!
Another recipe Adam would LOVE. I think when we go out there this summer, I'll buy him some mason jars and make him some food.
would you mind posting your recipe for the tators
would you mind posting your tator recipe
You had me at pools of butter!
Hope you are having a great week, but um, those biscuits aren't Paleo are they?!
Anon- Peel and cube up (about one inch cubes) as many potatoes as you need. In a large skillet heat anywhere from 1/4-1/3 cup oil and add potatoes. I like to season with a MSG-free season salt and some pepper. Stir to coat potatoes with seasonings and oil. Cover at first and occasionally turn potatoes until they are tender. Now start cooking without lid so that they crisp up. This is also a great way to use up leftover baked, roasted, or boiled potatoes. So no real recipe, but I hope this helps! Thanks!
I am going to make this! Looks very yummy!
I MOST definitely need the sausage gravy recipe to go with the biscuit recipe! Are you able to provided?
