Ingredients
Gather these simple ingredients, and you’re halfway to a scrumptious breakfast:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
Substitution Tip: If you’re out of buttermilk, mix 1 1/2 cups of milk with 1 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice or white vinegar and let it sit for a few minutes. It’s a trick I learned from my mom—practical and effective!
Instructions
Let’s get baking! Here’s how to make these delightful biscuits:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. This step is crucial for even distribution of the ingredients.
- Pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The dough will be sticky, and that’s perfectly okay!
- Pour the melted butter into a 9-inch square baking dish, ensuring the entire bottom is covered.
- Transfer the dough to the buttered dish. Using a spatula, gently spread the dough to the edges.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are crisp. My grandmother always said that the color of a good biscuit is like the afternoon sun—warm and inviting.
- Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares. Enjoy warm for the best experience!
