Time 40m

Yield 8 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups self-rising flour, plus more for dusting
1 stick good butter, plus 3 tablespoons melted
2 to 3 cups cold buttermilk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place heavy cast-iron skillet into oven to preheat. Chill a large mixing bowl, pastry cutter, flour and 1 stick butter in the freezer 15 minutes before assembling the biscuits.
  • Add the flour to the chilled mixing bowl. Working quickly, cut 1 stick butter into the flour using the chilled pastry cutter (or your fingers); the goal here is pea-size balls of butter. In batches, add in the buttermilk until the dough is cohesive yet still moist. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and lightly press into a 1-inch-thick round. Using a biscuit cutter or business end of a dry-measuring cup, cut out 8 biscuits. (Use the extra dough to cook up a big piece of shortcake for dessert....strawberry shortcake!)
  • Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and add the oil. Place the dough rounds into the hot skillet, right up against each other, and brush with the 3 tablespoons melted butter. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make your biscuits tough.
  • Handle the dough gently: Be careful not to press down on the dough too hard, as this can also make your biscuits tough.
  • Cut the biscuits with a sharp knife: This will help prevent the biscuits from tearing.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Give the biscuits enough space to rise and bake evenly.
  • Serve the biscuits warm: Freshly baked biscuits are the best!
