• Heat oven to 450° F.

Make the Biscuit Dough

• Add the butter to a microwave safe dish. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
• Stir in the buttermilk, just. until the dough is moistened. Don't over mix!
• Microwave the butter for 30 seconds, then check it. If not melted give it another 15 seconds, or until melted all the way. Pour the butter into the 8"x8" baking dish.
• Add the dough to the baking dish, right into the melted butter. Then use your fingers or a spatula to spread dough into an even layer.
• Cut the dough into 9 equal pieces (this makes cutting after baking easier, and allows the butter to get around every piece while baking).

Bake the Biscuits

• Bake for 10 minutes, then turn the dish and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the biscuits spring back when pressed.
• Remove from the oven to a wire rack and let sit in the baking dish until all of the butter has been absorbed.

Serve

• Serve hot with honey, or maple syrup, extra butter, or plain, as they are delicious as is!
