Ingredients:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold butter diced into cubes or grated
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
- 1 - 2 tablespoons melted butter optional
Instructions
- Preheat to oven to 425 degrees F.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
- Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut butter into the flour mixture until the mixture is coarse.
- Pour in the buttermilk and use your hands to mix just until combined.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and kneed just until it comes together. Press into a rectangle. Fold one side in and then the other. Press and gently flatten. Then repeat one more time. Roll until the dough is about 1/2 - 3/4 inch thick.
- Use a 3 inch biscuit cutter to cut the biscuits. Re-roll until you get 8 biscuits. Brush with melted butter if desired.
- Place the biscuits in a 10 inch cast iron skillet. Cook in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until browned on top.
