Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter (frozen 10 minutes)
  • 2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup chilled whole buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
  • 1/3 cup self-rising flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter (frozen 10 minutes)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 450˚F.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar and grated frozen butter. Freeze 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make a well in the center of the mixture, add buttermilk and stir 15 times. The dough will be slightly loose. Add 2-4 tablespoons buttermilk if the dough seems too dry.

  4. 4

    Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and form into a cohesive ball. Flatten dough into a 12"x8" rectangle. Score the dough into 4 even rectangles. Make rectangle stacks. Flatten the 2 stacks separately into 2 6"x8" rectangles.

  5. 5

    For the streusel, in a small bowl whisk together flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Grate then fold the butter into the mixture.

  6. 6

    Gently press half of the streusel mixture on 1 of the rectangles.

  7. 7

    Place the second rectangle on top of the streusel topped rectangle. Slice the stacked rectangles into 6 even biscuits.

  8. 8

    Melt butter in a 9-inch cast iron skillet or baking dish in the oven. Place the biscuits in the preheated pan. Add the remaining streusel mixture on top and press lightly.

  9. 9

    Bake 15-18 minutes or until the streusal biscuit are lightly browned.
