Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. 
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. 
  3. Add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon to stir until well combined and a moist dough has formed.
  4. Melt the butter either on the stovetop or in a microwave safe bowl.
  5. Pour the butter into a square (8x8 or 9x9) baking pan or dish.
  6. Pour the dough on top of the melted butter in the baking dish. Use your hands or a spatula to spread it as evenly as possible in the pan.  Get it to spread out and touch the sides if possible.
  7. Use a sharp knife or a bench scraper to cut the raw, unbaked dough into 9 squares. 
  8. Place the baking dish into the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
  9. Remove the pan from the oven and let sit until any remaining butter is absorbed into the biscuits. Cut apart and serve.

Notes

  • Be sure to use a standard baking pan or dish. Using a shallow pan can cause butter to run out all over the bottom of the oven.
  • Spread the batter out until it touches the sides of the baking dish.
  • Place the baking dish on a cookie sheet before putting it in the oven to catch anything that may bubble over during baking.
