Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Brush the sides and bottom of a 10 inch cast iron skillet with melted butter, reserving some butter to brush the tops.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, cut butter into the flour and paprika until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Mix in bacon and cheddar cheese. Make a well in the center; add 1/2 cup buttermilk.
Mix with a fork, add more buttermilk until it forms a soft dough and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Use a 4 oz. ice cream scoop to divide dough. Place in the skillet side by side. Brush tops with melted butter.
Bake 15 minutes until the tops are golden. Serve hot.
