Dietary Modifications

Low-sodium: Reduce salt to ½ tsp.

4. Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare Your Cast Iron
Lightly flour or grease a 10–12 inch cast iron skillet. No Dawn needed — the skillet is naturally seasoned over time.

2. Mix Your Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:

Flour

Baking soda

Salt

3. Cut in the Butter
Add cold butter, cut into cubes. Using a pastry cutter (or your fingers):

Work the butter into the flour

Stop when it resembles pea-sized crumbs

This step creates the flaky layers in the biscuits.

4. Add the Buttermilk
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
Pour in the buttermilk.
Stir gently with a fork until just barely combined.

👉 Do NOT overmix.
