Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 stick butter
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 4 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp salt
Directions:
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 20-25 minutes | Total Time: 30-35 minutes
Calories: 300 per serving | Servings: 9 biscuits
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the buttermilk and stir until a moist dough forms.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Melt the stick of butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour the melted butter into an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish. Make sure the dish isn’t too shallow to prevent overflow.
- Spread the Dough: Spread the dough evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish, ensuring the dough touches the sides of the pan.
- Cut into Squares: Using a knife, cut the dough into 9 squares. This helps the biscuits bake evenly and makes them easy to separate after baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm and fresh from the oven.
Tips for Perfect Butter Biscuits
- Buttermilk Substitute: If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can make a substitute by adding 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar to 2 cups of milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before using.
- Even Baking: Ensure the dough is spread evenly in the pan for uniform baking. This will help each biscuit achieve that perfect golden brown top.
- Serving Suggestions: These biscuits are incredibly versatile. Enjoy them with butter and jam for breakfast, serve them alongside a hearty stew, or use them to make delicious breakfast sandwiches.
