2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 ounces goat cheese
1 cup buttermilk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
garlic and herb seasoning, optional
If you want to use self-rising flour, omit the baking powder in this recipe.
Heat oven to 425ºF. Place a 10 inch cast iron skillet in oven while it heats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut in goat cheese and 4 tablespoons butter.
Make a well in center and add buttermilk. Using a wooden spoon or sturdy spatula, stir ingredients until just moistened, adding up to a tablespoon more buttermilk if needed.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add 1 tablespoon butter. Once butter has melted, use a ¼ cup measure to drop batter into skillet. Melt 1 tablespoon butter and brush over biscuit tops.
Bake for 14-16 minutes, until biscuits are golden on top. Remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garlic and herb seasoning, if desired.
