Goat Cheese Drop Biscuits

From Joy The Baker, these are quick and easy biscuits for any meal.

Ingredients

2 c. all-purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt
4 tbsp. cold, unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1 tbsp. unsalted butter, for the pan
2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted to top the biscuits
4 tbsp. goat cheese, crumbled
1 c. buttermilk

Directions

Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees. Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven to preheat, as well.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. With your fingers incorporate the butter and goat cheese until the flour resembles a coarse, pebbly mixture. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. With a fork, mix together the buttermilk and flour until all of the dry flour disappears.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small sauce pan or in the microwave. Set aside. Remove the cast iron from the oven and place one tablespoon of butter in it. Work the pat of butter around, greasing the entire pan, including the sides.

Spoon the batter, by the 1/4-cup into the hot skillet. The biscuits will touch when baked. Brush with melted butter. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, until slightly golden in color. Remove from the oven. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm.
