1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose our
1 1⁄2 tablespoons coarsely ground fresh black pepper
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt (kosher or sea)
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
2 tablespoons cold cannabutter, cut into small cubes
3⁄4 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 340°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Put the flour, pepper, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade or in a large bowl. Whisk or pulse to combine.
Add both cold butters to the flour mixture. Pulse in the food processor, or cut the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter or 2 knives, until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Slowly add the buttermilk and pulse or stir with a fork until the dough just comes together. It will be tacky.
Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between scoops.
Bake the biscuits until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove them from the oven and brush the tops with the melted butter.
Transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving (they’re also delicious at room temperature).
