Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups buttermilk (or see substitutions)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Place the stick of butter in an 8×8-inch baking dish and set it in the oven to melt while you prepare the dough.
Prepare the Dough:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until a sticky batter forms.
Assemble the Biscuits:
Remove the baking dish with melted butter from the oven.
Pour the biscuit batter over the melted butter, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. It’s fine if some butter pools around the edges or on top.
Using a sharp knife, cut the batter into 9 squares before baking.
Bake:
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve:
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving warm with your favorite jam, honey, or butter.
Tips and Variations
Substituting Buttermilk: If you don’t have buttermilk, combine 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice with enough milk to measure 1 cup. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
Unsalted Butter: If using unsalted butter, increase the salt in the recipe to 1/2 teaspoon.
Add-Ins: Sprinkle shredded cheese, garlic powder, or fresh herbs on top for a savory twist.
