AWESOME CAST IRON BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
I finally came up with a biscuit recipe that I can live with... These biscuits are cooked up in a cast iron skillet (but any skillet should do), and come out fluffy and tasty. They are great for breakfast, or any time you crave a good tasty biscuit. I'll usually break one open and put a nice piece of country sausage in, or...

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly oil a 10 1/2-inch square cast iron skillet or coat with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Grate butter using the large holes of a box grater. Stir into the flour mixture. Add buttermilk and stir using a rubber spatula until a soft dough forms. Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 9-inch square, trimming the edges to create an 8-inch square. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into 9 or 12 square biscuits. Place biscuits onto the prepared cast iron skillet. Place into oven and bake for 16-19 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a 10 1/2-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat.
- Add the flour to a large bowl. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to work the shortening into the flour until the crumbs are the size of large peas.
- Slowly pour in the buttermilk, then mix with your hands until the mixture starts to form a dough. Add buttermilk if it feels too dry. As soon as the dough comes together, transfer to a floured work surface. Press the dough into a square and fold it over itself to create layers, using additional flour to keep the dough from sticking. Shape into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Use a 2- to 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, rerolling the scraps to use all the dough.
- Take the skillet out of the oven and add 2 tablespoons melted butter. Place the biscuits in the skillet, then lightly brush the tops with the remaining butter.
- Bake until lightly golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, then serve.
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.

CHEF JOHN'S BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
This deceptively simple recipe can come out a million different ways with some very minor variations on the ingredients and amounts. This one's my favorite - flaky, but not dry; chewy, but not tough; crisp in just the right spots.
