Servings: 9 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until everything is combined. Don’t overthink it—lumps are okay.
- Melt the butter in an 8x8 baking dish in the oven. Carefully remove the dish once the butter is fully melted.
- Pour the biscuit dough right on top of the hot butter. Spread it out gently to the corners.
- Use a knife to score the dough into 9 squares—this helps it bake evenly.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the tops are golden and the edges are crispy.
- Let them cool just a bit before digging in (if you can wait).
