Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
- 2 ½ cups 300g all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp 25g granulated sugar
- 4 tsp 16g baking powder
- 2 tsp 10g salt
- 2 cups 480ml cold buttermilk
- ½ cup 115g unsalted butter, melted (plus 1 tbsp for brushing, optional)
Optional for Serving:
- Honey jam, or fruit preserves
- Sausage gravy
- Scrambled eggs and crispy bacon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Pour melted butter into an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish, coating the bottom evenly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add buttermilk and stir just until combined (the dough will be sticky).
- Transfer dough to prepared dish and gently spread into an even layer over the melted butter.
- Using a knife or bench scraper, score the dough into 9 equal squares.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown on top. Remove from oven and brush with extra melted butter if desired.
- Serve warm with toppings of your choice.
Notes
- Use cold buttermilk for light, tender biscuits.
- Don’t overmix the dough to avoid tough texture.
- Score before baking to ensure even portions and butter distribution.
- Cool completely and wrap for make-ahead breakfasts.
- Freeze baked biscuits for up to 3 months.
