Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1¾ cups buttermilk
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
- Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar (if using), and salt.
- Add the buttermilk and stir just until combined. The dough will be thick and slightly lumpy.
- Spoon the dough into the buttered baking dish and spread it evenly to the edges.
- Score the dough into 9 squares using a knife for easy serving.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top is golden and the edges are crispy.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- For savory biscuits, mix in cheese, herbs, or garlic powder.
- Use the buttermilk substitute if you don’t have buttermilk: milk + lemon juice or vinegar.
- Double the recipe for a crowd and use a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep biscuits tender.
