Nutritional Benefits

Buttermilk provides a light, tangy flavor and is rich in calcium, while butter adds essential fats for a moist, soft crumb. Paired with flour, these biscuits make a comforting, hearty option.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups buttermilk
1 stick unsalted butter (1/2 cup), melted
4 tsp baking powder
4 tsp sugar
2 tsp salt

Cooking Tips

Use cold buttermilk and cold butter for best results—the dough will stay fluffier and rise better.
Don’t overmix the dough, as this will toughen the biscuits. A few lumps are fine!

Preparation:

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until a moist dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep your biscuits light and fluffy.
Melt Butter and Prep Pan: Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour it into an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish, making sure the butter coats the entire bottom of the pan.
Add Dough to Pan: Drop the dough right onto the melted butter and spread it evenly with a spatula until it touches the edges of the pan. Don’t worry if it swims in the butter—this helps create that crispy, golden crust!
Score Dough: Use a knife to cut the dough into 9 squares before baking. This will make it easy to pull apart the biscuits once they’re done.
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the edges look crisp.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these biscuits warm with raspberry jam, honey, or even a savory option like garlic butter.
They’re great with breakfast eggs, or as a side with soup or salad for lunch or dinner.

Storage Tips

Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in the oven to restore their crispy texture.
