Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups White Lily All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 8 tablespoons butter (1 stick), cut into cubes and softened
  • 4 tablespoons shortening cut into cubes
  • 1 ⅓ cups buttermilk
  • ¼ cup sugar (for rolling)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for rolling)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  • Preheat your cast-iron skillet in the oven at 450°F (232°C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until combined.
  • Add the softened butter and shortening, mixing until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Pour in the buttermilk and gently stir until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
  • Remove the hot skillet and grease it lightly with butter. Drop spoonfuls of the dough into the skillet, leaving space between them.
  • In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the biscuit tops.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Brush the tops with melted butter after baking for added flavor.
