Equipment

  • 8"x8" Baking Dish

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter
  • 2 ½ cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons Baking Powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 ¾ cups Buttermilk

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 450° F.
  • Cut up the butter and place it in 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 moistened.
  • Microwave the butter for 30 seconds, then check it. If not melted give it another 30 seconds. 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 to spread it into an even layer.
  • Cut into 9 equal pieces (this makes cutting after baking unnecessary, and allows the butter to get into every piece!).
  • 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 hot with honey, maple syrup, extra butter, or plain, as they are delicious as is!
