How to Make: Cast Iron Buttermilk Biscuits

BY FoodEase TIMEAugust 22, 2014 PRINT

This recipe can be done in an open fire pit while you’re camping, or simply at home in the oven.

INGREDIENTS  –

1-1/2 (80 g) cups flour 
3/4 cup (170 g) buttermilk
1/2 stick (57 g) cold butter, cubed
1/4 cup (47 g) cold vegetable shortening, cubed
8 tsp (24 g) dry milk
1/2 TBS (6g) sugar
2-1/2 tsp (14 g) baking powder
1 tsp (3 g) cream of tartar
1/2 tsp (3 g) salt

1. In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients. With a pastry cutter, cut in the butter and vegetable shortening into the flour mixture.

2. Pour in the buttermilk. Mix well. Pat and flatten dough into 1-inch thick. Cut with a biscuit cutter or a glass.

3. In a cast iron skillet, arrange the biscuits in circle. Bake at 475ºF for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
*** If you’re baking in an open fire pit, cover the cast iron pan with a lid, and place charcoals on top of the lid. You DO NOT need lid when baking in the OVEN. ***
