Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°. Lightly spray a square cast-iron skillet with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, stir together flour, thyme, baking powder, salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, baking soda, garlic powder, and onion powder. Using a pastry blender or 2 forks, cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly. Gently stir in buttermilk until a soft dough forms.
