I got this recipe from Divas Can Cook. Here is the original video for this recipe. What I am listing on this page is how I made the recipe using the ingredients that I had. I've tried some of the other recipes on the Divas Can Cook channel and have enjoyed them all so far. Now, on to the recipe!
Ingredients
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1½-1¾ cup buttermilk cold
• 12 tablespoons unsalted butter divided (If all you have is salted butter or margarine, DO NOT add additional salt. Ignore the 2 teaspoons of salt listed above)
Note: Make sure the butter and the buttermilk are cold before preparing this dish. Also, you may notice in many of my photos that I line my baking dishes with foil or parchment paper. This is for easy clean up and convenience, especially when I am borrowing dishes. The dish I used was not an 8x8.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 F.
- If you prefer, line your baking dish with foil or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
- Cut in 4 tablespoons of cold butter until mixture is crumbly.
- Slowly add in buttermilk, a little at a time, JUST until a wet dough forms. (may need to use slightly more or less buttermilk as stated) Set aside.
- Melt 7 tablespoons of butter and pour it into a 8x8 glass baking dish.
- Spoon the biscuit dough on top of the butter and gently spread it out.
- Precut the dough into 9 squares. (this will allow the butter to get to all corners of each biscuit)
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden. (If the tops are still pale when almost done, flip the oven to broil to add some golden color to the tops but watch it carefully!)
- Remove from oven and allow the butter to absorb into the biscuits.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with remaining tablespoon of butter.
