Skillet Biscuits
5-8     30-35 minutes     Grill    
Every once in a while your barbecue will require some heavy lifting. You’ll get your workout here by using a heavy, well seasoned, cast iron skillet. Like I said, heavy lifting. Enjoy the carbs; you’ve earned it!
1 cup (2 sticks) + 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
4 cups self-rising flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
1½ cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons honey, for serving
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (350°F-400°F).
  2. Make sure the butter is cold, and slice the 2 sticks into 16 tablespoons.
  3. Using a mixer, combine flour, the 16 tablespoons of butter, sugar, and salt, until crumbly.
  4. Add buttermilk and working on a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a ball, kneading several times.
  5. Place 1 tablespoon of butter in a cast iron skillet. Set it on the grill to melt.
  6. Divide the dough into 10 even balls and place them in the cast iron skillet.
  7. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and baste the tops of the biscuits.
  8. Place the skillet on the grill and cook for 30-35 minutes.
  9. Remove from the heat, baste with the remaining tablespoon of butter, and drizzle with honey to serve.
For a savory variation, try adding ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese to the flour mixture, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the basting butter.
