Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Pour buttermilk into the dry mixture, gently folding until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms, ensuring no dry pockets remain.
- Melt butter completely in the microwave, coating a rectangular baking dish with a light layer of cooking spray.
- Spread melted butter across the bottom of the prepared dish, creating a rich, golden base.
- Carefully drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough directly into the melted butter, allowing each portion to be surrounded and coated by the liquid butter.
- Position the dish in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C), baking for 15-20 minutes until the top achieves a deep golden-brown color and edges become crispy and slightly puffy.
Notes
- Select high-protein flour like bread flour for extra fluffy texture and structure.
- Ensure buttermilk is at room temperature to help activate baking powder and create softer biscuits.
- Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough, dense biscuits – mix just until ingredients combine.
- Swap buttermilk with dairy-free alternatives like almond milk mixed with apple cider vinegar for vegan version.
