SKILLET BISCUITS

Steps:

• Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• Cut in shortening or butter.
• Add and lightly mix buttermilk.
• Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for 1/2 minute.
• Pat the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
• Cut with a biscuit cutter (or knife, depending on what shape you like).
• If you want to bake the biscuits, bake 10-12 minutes at 450.
• For skillet biscuits:.
• Cook the biscuits on a lightly greased hot skillet/griddle about 1 inch apart.
• Use your best judgement as to the heat - I generally use a more moderate flame and brown biscuits 3 to 4 minutes each side, though the original recipe says to brown them for 5-7 minutes each side over high heat.
• As mentioned above - the biscuits will not be light and fluffy like with baked biscuits - so don't wait for them to rise and be puffy. They will be more dense.
• The best approach is to keep an eye on them and turn them when they are browned and dry-looking on one side before turning them over.

VEGGIE SKILLET BISCUITS RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Use a box grater to shred zucchini, broccoli stem, and carrot onto a cutting board. Using a chef's knife, give the shredded vegetables and broccoli florets a quick chop. (You should have 2 cups total.) Transfer vegetables to a medium bowl. Toss in 1/4 cup flour; set aside. In a large bowl stir together the remaining flour, the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper. With a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in the butter until the pieces resemble coarse crumbs. Fold in the vegetable mixture and the cheese. Gently stir in the yogurt until the mixture is moistened. In the bowl gently knead until it comes together as a dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Pat the dough to a 11/4-inch thickness. Using a 21/2-inch diameter cookie cutter or glass, cut dough into rounds, flouring cutter between each cut. Repeat with scraps. Arrange biscuits in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until golden. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with sea salt. Cool slightly before serving.
