Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces butter, melted
  • 2 1/2 cups flour, (320 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons baking powder
  • 4 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups buttermilk, well shaken

Instructions

  • Prepare the Pan and Oven: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Pour the melted butter into an 8-inch square pan or baking dish and set aside.
  • Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and soda.

  • Prepare the Dough: Add the buttermilk and mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until well mixed. Let it stand for 5 minutes, then gently spread it in the prepared pan.

  • Slice the Dough: Grease or spray a bench scraper with cooking spray and cut the dough into 9 squares. Then wipe and spray the bench scraper again and redo the cuts. This gives the butter a nice path to surround the individual biscuits as they bake.

  • Bake the Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let them stand for 5 minutes to give the butter more time to soak in, then slice and enjoy!
