Buttermilk Biscuits
These buttermilk biscuits are the perfect side for just about any meal. Baked in a cast iron skillet, they come out the flakiest, buttery biscuits you’ll ever have!
Servings: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups buttermilk
- 4 cups all purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup + 1 Tablespoon salted butter, frozen and cut into cubes for divided use
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or smoker 425 degrees F.
- In a large food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Pulse to combine.
- Add 3/4 cups of frozen butter cubes to the food processor and pulse 8-10 times or until the butter is the size of small peas. If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the frozen butter on a cheese grater and add it to the dry ingredients.
- Remove the blade from the processor and gently mix in the buttermilk using a rubber spatula. Do not overmix. Stir until a loose and soft dough forms.
- Pour the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and gently knead 5 or 6 times. Lightly pad dough into a 12" circle.
- Butter a 12" cast iron skillet with the remaining 1 Tablespoon of butter.
- Cut the dough into 12 or 16 biscuits and lay them into a buttered skillet or baking dish.
- Place the skillet on your preheated grill (or in your oven). Close the lid, and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- While the biscuits are still warm, brush with more melted butter (optional) and serve warm.
