Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • 1 tbsp Granulated sugar optional
  • 1 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter melted
  • 1 3/4 cups Buttermilk
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Prepare an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish with cooking spray. Not absolutely necessary but they might stick a little.
  • Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl and pour it into the baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together.
  • Pour in the buttermilk, and mix just until a sticky shaggy batter forms.
  • Spoon the biscuit dough on top of the melted butter in the baking dish. Spread the dough out evenly with a spatula or use your hands.
  • As best as you can, cut the dough into 9 equal size squares.
  • Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
