Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 450F degrees.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl (or you can use the baking dish that you'll be baking these in if it's microwave-safe), melt stick of butter in the microwave.
3. Put melted butter into an 8x8 baking dish.
4. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and baking powder.
5. Pour in the buttermilk.
6. Stir until a loose dough forms.
7. Batter will be a bit sticky.
8. Pour biscuit dough into baking dish (right on top of the melted butter.)
9. Spread it out with the back of a spoon or a butter knife.
10. You won't get it perfectly even.
11. Some of the butter will run over the top of the dough, that's perfectly okay.
12. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, rotating dish once during baking.
13. 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.

NOTES
If using unsalted butter, be sure to add 1 teaspoon of salt
