Ingredients
  

Biscuit Ingredients
  • 2 cups All purpose flour Spoon flour into the measuring cup to avoid packing.
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder Ensure it is fresh.
  • 1 tsp Salt Add to taste.
  • 1 cup Buttermilk or milk with lemon juice/vinegar For a quick buttermilk substitute, stir 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar into 1 cup of milk and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Melted in the baking dish.
  • optional Sugar, honey, garlic powder, or shredded cheese Customize according to your mood.

Method
 

Baking Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a baking dish in the oven with the butter.
  2. While the butter is melting, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Add the buttermilk to the flour mixture and stir until you form a sticky, shaggy dough. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Carefully take out the hot dish from the oven and tilt it to coat the bottom with melted butter.
  5. Spoon the dough into the dish on top of the melted butter and spread it out to the corners.
  6. Use a butter knife to cut the dough into 9 squares.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and edges are crispy.
  8. Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Notes

These biscuits are best served warm. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature, 4 days in the fridge, or freeze for 2 months.
