Preparation

Step 1

1.) Preheat oven to 450°.

2.) In a large bowl, place flour. Using a pastry blender or 2 forks, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Gradually add buttermilk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.

3.) On a lightly floured surface, gently knead dough 4 times. Roll dough about ¾ inch thick. Fold dough in half. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut dough, rerolling scraps once.

4.) Wipe bottom and sides of an 8-inch cast-iron skillet with oil. Place pan in oven until very hot, about 5 minutes. Place biscuits in hot pan, overlapping slightly if needed.

5.) Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes
