Servings: 9 Biscuits
Calories: 252kcal
Equipment
- 8-inch Square Cake Pan or 9-inch
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 ¾ cups buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place a baking dish (usually 8x8 or 9x9) in the oven to warm while it heats.
- Remove the hot dish, add the 1/2 cup unsalted butter, and let it melt completely in the warm pan. The butter should sizzle slightly and coat the bottom evenly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, 4 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp kosher salt until well combined.
- Pour in the 1 3/4 cups buttermilk and stir gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix. The dough should be thick but scoopable.
- Pour the dough into the pan directly over the melted butter. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, letting the butter pool around the edges.
- Use a knife to lightly mark lines in the dough to make cutting easier after baking.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the butter is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and serve. Let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with jam, honey, or gravy.
