Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Medium-sized mixing bowl
• Microwave-safe bowl
• 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish
• Spatula

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1 stick butter
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 4 tsp sugar
• 2 tsp salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.

3. Add the buttermilk and mix until a moist dough forms.

4. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and pour it into an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish. Ensure the dish is not too small or shallow to prevent butter from dripping out while baking.

5. Place the dough on top of the melted butter. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the pan until it touches the sides.

6. Cut the unbaked dough into 9 squares. It should look like it’s swimming in butter at this point.

7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

8. Enjoy these biscuits for any meal of the day. They’re especially delicious with a dollop of raspberry jam. 😊

Tips for Success

• Ensure your baking dish is the right size to prevent butter overflow.
• Don’t overmix the dough – it should be just combined for the best texture.

Additional Tips or Variations

Feel free to experiment by adding herbs like rosemary or thyme for a savory twist. You can also try different types of cheese for extra flavor.

Nutritional Highlights (Per Serving)

These biscuits are rich and buttery, providing a satisfying treat. For a healthier option, consider using whole wheat flour or reducing the butter slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk? While buttermilk gives the best flavor and texture, you can use regular milk with a tablespoon of lemon juice as a substitute.
• How do I store leftovers? Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
