These skillet buttermilk biscuits are a delightful twist on the classic stove-top biscuit recipe, offering a rich and buttery flavor.
Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Using cold butter helps create a flaky texture in the biscuits.
Stir in the buttermilk until a dough forms.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the dough, which can make the biscuits tough.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape them into biscuits.
Use lightly floured hands to prevent sticking.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the butter is melted but not browned for optimal flavor.
Place half of the biscuits in the skillet and cook for 6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet, which can affect cooking.
Repeat with the remaining butter and biscuits.
Keep the skillet at a consistent temperature for even cooking.
Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings or sides.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
