Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Prepare the Butter:
- Place the stick of butter in a 9×13 inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.
- Put the dish in the preheated oven until the butter is completely melted, then remove the dish from the oven.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add Buttermilk:
- Pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick and a bit lumpy.
- Pour Batter Over Butter:
- Carefully pour the biscuit batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. The butter will spread to the edges and may come up over the batter, which is exactly what you want.
- Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the biscuits to cool in the baking dish for a few minutes before cutting them into squares and serving warm.
Tips:
- Buttermilk Substitute: If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 2 tablespoons of white vinegar or lemon juice to 2 cups of milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes before using.
- Butter Quality: Use high-quality unsalted butter for the best flavor.
- Storing: These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
