Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish, ensuring the entire bottom is covered.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the buttermilk and stir until just combined. The dough will be sticky—don’t overmix!
Step 3: Add Dough to the Butter
Pour the dough directly into the buttered baking dish, spreading it evenly. The butter will rise around the edges—that’s what makes them crispy!
Step 4: Cut the Biscuits Before Baking
Using a knife, score the dough into 9 or 12 squares. This helps create defined biscuit portions.
Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
Serving Suggestions
