CAST IRON BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
Experimentation and a need for more biscuits per batch led me to what we think are the best biscuits anywhere! For optimum flavor, these must be baked in hot, buttered cast iron skillets. They are great for breakfast with gravy or jellies. Also excellent with beef stew for dinner. My husband likes the leftover biscuits even better. He breaks them open on a plate and smothers them with molasses.

SKILLET BISCUITS
This recipe is more about the technique than the ingredients. I've added a bit more description since the first review. Making biscuits in a skillet rather than the oven is something I picked up from Joy of Cooking. It's a great alternative when you just don't want to heat up the kitchen by turning on the oven. Any rolled biscuit dough will do. NOTE: The texture may be a bit different when the biscuits are made on the stovetop, sometimes mine are a bit more dense than when baked, but they taste really good. I'm including the buttermilk biscuit recipe from Joy of Cooking, which is also wonderful and tender when rolled and baked. Yield is approximate, depending on the recipe you end up using.

Steps:
- Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Cut in shortening or butter.
- Add and lightly mix buttermilk.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for 1/2 minute.
- Pat the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
- Cut with a biscuit cutter (or knife, depending on what shape you like).
- If you want to bake the biscuits, bake 10-12 minutes at 450.
- For skillet biscuits:.
- Cook the biscuits on a lightly greased hot skillet/griddle about 1 inch apart.
- Use your best judgement as to the heat - I generally use a more moderate flame and brown biscuits 3 to 4 minutes each side, though the original recipe says to brown them for 5-7 minutes each side over high heat.
- As mentioned above - the biscuits will not be light and fluffy like with baked biscuits - so don't wait for them to rise and be puffy. They will be more dense.
- The best approach is to keep an eye on them and turn them when they are browned and dry-looking on one side before turning them over.

EASY PAN BUTTER BISCUITS RECIPE

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Slice the butter into a couple of thin slices and spread in the bottom of an 8x8" baking dish.
- Place the butter in the baking dish into the oven while it preheats to allow the butter to melt.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Carefully pour in the buttermilk, mixing until the flour mixture is just moistened (be careful not to overmix!).
- Remove melted butter pan from the oven.
- Place the dough in the melted butter pan and spread it evenly in the pan with your fingers. As you spread the dough out to the corners, the butter will start to surround the dough and flow on top of the dough (which is what you want!).
- Cut the dough into 9 equal squares (you don't have to do this step, but it makes it easier to pull apart later and allows the butter to soak into all the edges of each piece).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes (start checking at 20 minutes) or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Serve hot with honey butter or your favorite toppings.

Tips:
- Use cold butter: Cold butter creates flaky layers in the biscuits. If the butter is too warm, it will melt into the flour and the biscuits will be tough.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, then stop.
- Let the dough rest: Letting the dough rest allows the gluten to relax, which makes the biscuits more tender.
- Preheat the oven: A hot oven is essential for light and fluffy biscuits.
- Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown: Baking the biscuits until they are golden brown ensures that they are cooked through.
- Serve the biscuits warm: Biscuits are best served warm out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Stovetop biscuits are a quick and easy way to enjoy delicious, homemade biscuits. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a batch of fluffy, golden brown biscuits that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. So next time you're craving a warm, comforting biscuit, give this recipe a try.
