Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Place the unsalted butter in a 9-inch by 9-inch baking dish. Put the dish in the preheating oven to melt the butter. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't burn; this should take about 5 minutes.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to combine evenly.
Pour the whole milk into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Carefully remove the baking dish with the melted butter from the oven. Use a heatproof spatula or spoon to ensure the butter is spread evenly across the bottom of the dish.
Spoon the biscuit batter directly into the hot butter in the baking dish, spreading it out as evenly as possible. The batter will absorb some of the butter, which creates golden, crispy edges.
Using a sharp knife, score the batter into 9 square portions. This will make it easier to separate the biscuits after baking.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool for 5 minutes before serving. They can be cut apart and served directly from the baking dish.
