Preheat oven to 450 °F.   In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients with a wooden spoon or spatula.  With a sharp knife, cut cold butter into ½ Tbsp. pieces.   Usinga pastry cutter or fork, combine the butter into the dry mixture.   The mixture will be dry with little chunks of butter about the size of a pinto or lima bean.   Spreadthe mixture up the sides of the bowl, creating a well. Add half of the milk into the center of the bowl and stir, incorporating the dry mix little by little.   Add remaining milk and carefully combine, making sure to not break down the butter completely.   Pour dough out onto a floured surface and shape into a square.   Cut into 1½” x 1½” squares and place in cast iron pan.   Bake 20-25 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.   As soon as you remove from oven, drizzle with melted butter.   Let cool slightly before serving.
