Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Preheat oven to 425 °F. Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Using your hands, work butter into flour until pieces are chickpea-size. Add buttermilk and mix just to blend.
Drop dough by heaping 1/4-cupfuls into an 8" cast-iron skillet, spacing about 1" apart. Bake, rotating skillet once, until biscuits are puffed, golden brown, and cooked through, 12 –15 minutes.
