Ingredients
Scale
For the Biscuits:
- ½ cup butter
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ¾ cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Melt Butter: Place the butter in a cast-iron skillet or an 8×8-inch baking dish. Put the skillet or dish in the preheated oven and allow the butter to melt. Keep an eye on it, as it will melt quickly—be sure not to let it burn.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: While the butter melts, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Combine and Bake: Once the butter has melted, remove the skillet from the oven and pour the biscuit batter over the hot melted butter. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and set in the center.
- Rest and Serve: Once baked, let the biscuits sit in the pan for about 15 minutes to absorb the melted butter before cutting with a bench scraper or sharp knife.
