BraveTart Buttermilk Biscuits

I finally got around to baking something from BraveTart's cookbook the other day.  I've owned this cookbook since February, thumbed through it a few times with intentions of baking one of the many delicious desserts from it, but hadn't settled on anything.

I've been craving biscuits lately, and decided on a BraveTart's Buttermilk biscuit recipe, since I had some buttermilk I needed to use up.  Oh, and also I bought some hybrid cherry-plums that I turned into jam and thought it would be delicious on biscuits with salted butter.

 It's not my recipe to give, but it's pretty similar to this one found on Serious Eats.  The recipe on Serious Eats uses 1 cup of yogurt, but if you substitute buttermilk, use 3/4 cup.

They were delicious and so very easy to bake.  No rolling pin necessary!  Also, I really like that you bake the biscuits in a cast iron pan.  I think next time I would cut them a little thicker and brush the tops with melted butter and a touch of sea salt.

Bon Appetite!
