Instructions
In a large bowl, place the flour and cold butter slices. Cut the butter into the flour with a fork, pastry blender, or pastry cutter until fully incorporated and it resembles lumpy flour. Place this bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
2.25 cups self-rising flour, 1/2 cup unsalted butter
After 10 minutes have passed, stir the sugar and chocolate chips into the flour mixture until well blended. Add milk and stir just until moistened (can add 1/4 cup more milk if need be).
1 cup whole milk, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup sugar
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Dip your palms in flour and pat the dough out into a rectangular shape. Gently fold the right side over onto the middle of the rectangle. Fold the left side over on top of the folded right side, like you are folding a piece of paper to put into an envelope.
Pat this out again into a rectangle and repeat folding process once more.
Dip a juice glass or biscuit cutter into flour and cut out the biscuits. Place biscuits in a lightly greased cake pan with their sides touching. Bake at 450 for 14-16 minutes or until lightly golden brown on top.
To make glaze
Stir together the confectioner's sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Brush over top of biscuits. Allow them to sit for a few minutes before serving.
1 cup confectioner's sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or butter flavoring, 1 tablespoon whole milk
