How to Make Skillet Biscuit Bread

Step-by-Step

Combine flour, buttermilk and oil in a large bowl; stir with a fork to combine. Do not over mix. With floured hands, gently knead dough in bowl to form a ball; dough will be sticky.
Generously grease with (bacon grease), a straight-sided heavy 8- or 9-inch skillet and set over medium heat. Pat dough into skillet.
Cook over medium heat until set and browned in spots on the bottom, 7 to 8 minutes. Using a spatula, slide or lift onto a plate. Invert into skillet and cook until other side is browned in spots and bread is thoroughly cooked, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cut into wedges. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
