Black Pepper Buttermilk Biscuits

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 12 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon coarse kosher sea salt
• 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• 4 ounces cold cubed unsalted butter
• 1 14 cups cold buttermilk

1. Preheat oven to 450F.
2. Place cast-iron skillet in oven to get hot while it is preheating.
3. Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
4. Chop butter in small and medium cubes, about 1 1/2-inches, a rough chop is fine.
5. Add 1 cup of the buttermilk and toss to let the flour absorb it.
6. Add remaining buttermilk, discerning at this point whether you need more.
7. Once evenly combined, turn out onto a floured surface and, with floured hands, pat down to a thickness youd like for your biscuits.
8. With a floured biscuit cutter, cut all biscuits, turning the dough only once.
9. Once you have all them all cut, set them aside and put about 3 ounces of butter in hot cast-iron to melt.
10. Once melted, place biscuits in pan and put directly in oven.
11. Bake for 12-15 minutes until biscuits are done.
