Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter cold and cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
Instructions
- Add the cubed butter to the bottom of a 9×9 pan.
- Turn on the oven to 450 degrees F and place the pan inside. Let the butter melt and the pan warm up while the oven preheats. Remove it immediately after the butter has melted.
- In the meantime, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to a large bowl, and whisk to combine.
- Next, pour in the buttermilk and stir together with a wooden spoon until a thoroughly combined and sticky dough is formed.
- Remove the pan with the fully melted butter from the oven and spread the dough on top of the melted butter, using a wooden spoon or spatula. Distribute evenly in the pan, from side to side.
- Pour the additional 2 tablespoons of melted butter on top, this will make the biscuits golden on top.
- Using a sharp knife cut the dough in the pan into 9 biscuits before baking.
- Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 18 – 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
- After that, run a sharp knife through the incision lines and serve the biscuits.
- Serve warm or cold as a side dish or with jam.
