Cast Iron Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Biscuit Recipes. (Cast Iron Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe). Experimentation and a need for more biscuits per batch led me to what we think are the best biscuits anywhere! For optimum flavor, these must be baked in hot, buttered cast iron skillets. They are great for breakfast with gravy or jellies. Also excellent with beef stew for dinner. My husband likes the leftover biscuits even better. He breaks them open on a plate and smothers them with molasses.
