Preparation

Step 1

This recipe is pretty simple. First, mix all of the dry ingredients together (flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder) and stir until they’re evenly combined.

After all the dry ingredients are mixed well, add the buttermilk. If you do not have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by mixing 2 c regular milk with 2 tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice and let stand for 5 minutes. Of course, you’ll only use 1 3/4 c though.

Now, mix all of the ingredients together until they form a ball.

Next, melt the stick of butter in a microwave safe bowl and pour it into the bottom of a 9×9 pan. Then, add your dough and press it out until it reaches the sides of the pan. You’ll want to cut the biscuits so that you come out with 9, then you may have to go over them again. They turn out really rustic.

Bake at 450 for 20-25 minutes until they’re nice and brown on top.
