ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon coarse kosher sea salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
4 ounces cold cubed unsalted butter
1 ¹⁄₄ cups cold buttermilk

directions

Preheat oven to 450°F. Place cast-iron skillet in oven to get hot while it is preheating.
Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Chop butter in small and medium cubes, about 1½-inches, a rough chop is fine. Add 1 cup of the buttermilk and toss to let the flour absorb it. Add remaining buttermilk, discerning at this point whether you need more. Once evenly combined, turn out onto a floured surface and, with floured hands, pat down to a thickness you’d like for your biscuits. With a floured biscuit cutter, cut all biscuits, turning the dough only once. Once you have all them all cut, set them aside and put about 3 ounces of butter in hot cast-iron to melt. Once melted, place biscuits in pan and put directly in oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes until biscuits are done.
