Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons melted butter divided
- 2 ½ cups self-rising flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ cup salted butter sliced and very cold
- 1 ¼ cup cold buttermilk plus 1 tablespoon for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Add 3 tablespoons of butter to a large cast iron skillet and place it in the oven until melted.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Use a pastry blender or fork to cut in the butter until the pieces are pea-size or smaller.
- Create a well in the middle of the flour mixture and add the buttermilk.
- Stir until the ingredients are just combined. The batter will be a little crumbly.
- Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface. With floured hands, bring the dough together and gently fold it over 3 or 4 times.
- Pat the dough out to about 1 inch thickness.
- Use a floured biscuit cutter (or glass cup) to cut the biscuits.
- Place the biscuits into the prepared cast iron skillet, spacing them close together.
- Reshape the remaining dough and continue to cut additional biscuits.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with 1 tablespoon of buttermilk.
- Bake for 13 to 16 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden brown on top.
- Brush the tops with the remaing two tbsp of melted butter and serve warm.
