Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450F degrees.

Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a microwave-safe bowl (or you can use the baking dish that you'll be baking these in), melt stick of butter in the microwave.

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Pour in the buttermilk.

Stir until a loose dough forms.

Batter will be a bit sticky.

Press biscuit dough into baking dish (right on top of the melted butter).

It is easiest to spread it out with your hands.
You won't get it perfectly even, but hey, that's okay, these are homemade, remember?
Some of the butter will run over the top of the dough, that's perfectly okay.

Take a sharp knife and cut the biscuit dough into 9 squares before baking.

Bake for about 20-25 minutes, rotating dish once during baking.
If you notice that some of the butter that is coming up to the top is getting brown,
just take a paper towel and dab around the edges a bit.
Oven times do vary since different ovens have different hot spots, but basically biscuits should be golden brown on top
and spring back to the touch.
