Ingredients:

• 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 cups (490 g) buttermilk
• ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
2. Add flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to a medium bowl. Use a whisk to sift ingredients.
3. Pour in the buttermilk and stir until mostly combined, being careful not to overwork the batter.
4. Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish*. Place the dough on top of the butter and use a spatula (or your hands) to evenly spread the dough out to the edges of the pan.
5. Cut the unbaked dough into 9 squares (3×3 pattern). Bake for 28 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
6. Allow the butter to be absorbed into the biscuits before cutting and serving.

Notes

• You can place the baking dish on a baking sheet in case of spillover.
