Four tender buttermilk biscuits baked right in a pool of melted butter until crisp and golden.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted

Directions

  • Heat the oven to 450°F. In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
  • Stir in the buttermilk just until combined. The dough will be wet and sticky.
  • Pour all of the melted butter into a 5-inch square baking dish. Spoon the dough on top of the butter (don't stir it in) and gently spread it to fill the dish.
  • Cut the dough into 4 squares with a knife. Set the dish on a rimmed baking sheet in case the butter bubbles over.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, until deep golden and the butter is bubbling at the edges. Let it stand in the dish for 10 minutes before pulling the biscuits apart.
