Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- ½ cup butter (1 stick)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
-
Add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon to stir until well combined and a moist dough has formed.
-
Melt the butter either on the stovetop or in a microwave safe bowl.
-
Pour the butter into a square (8×8 or 9×9) baking pan or dish.
-
Pour the dough on top of the melted butter in the baking dish. Use your hands or a spatula to spread it as evenly as possible in the pan. Get it to spread out and touch the sides if possible.
-
Use a sharp knife or a bench scraper to cut the raw, unbaked dough into 9 squares.
-
Place the baking dish into the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
-
Remove the pan from the oven and let sit until any remaining butter is absorbed into the biscuits. Cut apart and serve.
Notes
- Be sure to use a standard baking pan or dish. Using a shallow pan can cause butter to run out all over the bottom of the oven.
- Spread the batter out until it touches the sides of the baking dish.
- Place the baking dish on a cookie sheet before putting it in the oven to catch anything that may bubble over during baking.
