Buttermilk Biscuits
Makes 12-20, depending on the thickness and size biscuit
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 cup (one stick) unsalted butter, frozen
1 cup buttermilk, chilled
2 tbsp melted unsalted butter
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 475. Place the flour and salt in a medium sized bowl and, using the largest holes on your grater, grate the frozen butter into the flour. Gently mix the flour and butter with your fingertips, cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
2. Remove the flour/butter from the fridge and make a well in the center. Pour the chilled buttermilk into the well and gently mix the batter. (Don't be afraid to use your hands, but work quickly - you don't want the heat of your hands to melt the butter) Once the dough starts to come together, dump it out onto a floured surface. Knead just until the dough comes together.
4. Once the dough is rolled out and ready, brush the bottom and sides of a 12 inch cast iron skillet with some of the melted butter (you'll only use a little). Using a biscuit cutter, cut the biscuits and place snugly into the prepared pan.
5. Bake the biscuits for 15-25 minutes (depending on size and thickness), until the tops begin to turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with remaining melted butter. Allow to cool slightly and serve. Enjoy!

Guuuuurl, I'm the same way with my brownies. Totally not an edge girl! You're going to have to teach me all about the companion planting. You know our garden is itty bitty, but I'll take all the help we can get! I love how your kiddos are always helping out when outside! You guys rock!
