Cast Iron Skillet Biscuits
There’s just something special about biscuits made in a cast iron skillet. They come out golden brown on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Trust me when I say that this recipe will become a staple in your kitchen!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place your cast iron skillet in the oven so it gets nice and hot.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to make sure everything is evenly distributed.
- Add the chilled butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Don’t worry about getting it perfect; some small chunks of butter are good for flaky biscuits.
- Now, stir in the buttermilk and honey (if using) until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix, y’all! We want those biscuits to be tender.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it forms a smooth ball. Pat it down to about 1-inch thickness.
- Using a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass, cut out your biscuits and place them into the hot cast iron skillet. Remember, they can be close together; they’ll rise beautifully!
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. The aroma will fill your kitchen, and you’ll be counting down the minutes!
- Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, and maybe slather them with some butter or jam!
These biscuits are sure to impress anyone who takes a bite. Perfectly flaky and buttery, they’re just the right addition to your breakfast table or any meal. So, roll up your sleeves and get to baking!
