Buttermilk Biscuits with Sawmill Gravy
 
Makes 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
  • 3½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1¼ cups cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup cold whole buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Sawmill Gravy (recipe follows), to serve
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Using a pastry blender or 2 forks, cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in cold buttermilk until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat dough into a rectangle, and cut into fourths. Stack each fourth on top of each other, and pat into a rectangle. Repeat procedure 3 more times. Pat or roll dough to 1-inch thickness. Using a 2½-inch round cutter dipped in flour, cut 10 rounds without twisting cutter, rerolling scraps as necessary. Place  in prepared skillet. Freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
  4. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Brush with melted butter. Serve with Sawmill Gravy.
