Ingredients: 6 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting; 2/3 cup powdered milk; 2 tablespoons baking powder; 2 tablespoons granulated sugar; 1 tablespoon kosher salt; 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper; 1 tablespoon cream of tartar; 2 teaspoons ground sage, finely chopped; 2 sticks cold butter, cut into bits, plus 1/2 stick melted butter; 1 cup cold shortening; 3 cups buttermilk

Directions

Watch how to make this recipe.

Special equipment: a pastry cutter

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Stir together the flour, powdered milk, baking powder, sugar, salt, pepper, cream of tartar and sage in a medium bowl.

Using a pastry cutter, cut the cold butter and shortening into the dry mixture until blended thoroughly.

Stir in the buttermilk so the dough comes together.

On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and use hands to press into a circle 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.

Cut out the circles with a biscuit cutter or glass. Place the biscuits in cast-iron skillets, then brush the tops with the melted butter.

Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
