Step 1

Grate butter and place in the freezer until needed. Preheat oven to 450°F and melt butter in a baking pan, preferably cast iron.

Step 2

Sift flour into a bowl, add grated butter, and cut it into the flour using a fork to ensure even coating.

Step 3

Create a well and pour in cold buttermilk. Use a spatula to fold all together until a dough ball forms. Adjust consistency with a tbsp of buttermilk if needed, and work quickly as the dough should remain cold.

Step 4

On a floured surface, dump out the dough, sprinkle with a little flour, and pat it out with your hands. Avoid using a rolling pin.

Step 5

Fold the dough over onto itself, flatten, and fold. Repeat at least 8-10 times, sprinkling flour as needed for easier handling. This creates layers.

Step 6

Melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter in the microwave.

Step 7

Place biscuits in the buttered cast iron, brush with melted butter, and bake for 10 minutes. Brush on more butter and continue baking until golden brown (approximately 3-5 minutes).

Step 8

Remove from the oven, brush on more butter, and enjoy while hot. Optionally, top with honey butter (11 ratio of butter and honey).
