Golden, fluffy, and crisp-bottomed—these skillet buttermilk butter biscuits are a Southern staple made in one hot pan. Perfect with jam, gravy, or honey.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

¾ tsp salt

½ cup unsalted butter, cubed and cold

¾–1 cup cold buttermilk

1 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)

1 tbsp butter or oil (for greasing skillet)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and place your skillet inside.

  • Mix flour, baking powder, soda, and salt.

  • Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  • Stir in cold buttermilk until dough comes together.

  • Fold dough 3 times, roll to 1 inch thick, and cut into rounds.

  • Carefully remove skillet, grease, and place biscuits touching.

  • Bake 15–18 minutes. Brush tops with melted butter.

 

  • Serve warm with butter, honey, or gravy.

Notes

  • Don’t twist the cutter—press straight down.

  • Freeze cubed butter before cutting in for max flake.

 

  • Use real buttermilk for best results (not milk + vinegar).
