Melt butter in a 9×9-inch (or similar) baking dish in the oven while it preheats — about 5 minutes. Watch it so it doesn’t burn!
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined (batter will be thick). Don’t overmix!
Carefully remove the hot pan with melted butter from the oven.
Pour the biscuit batter right into the pan — directly over the butter. Spread it evenly with a spatula. The butter will rise up around the edges and on top — that’s what makes them heavenly! 😋
Bake 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Let cool a few minutes, then cut into squares. Serve warm — no extra butter needed (but no one’s stopping you 😉).
💡 Tips & Variations
Use salted butter for extra flavor or sprinkle a little flaky salt on top before baking.
For Cheddar Garlic Biscuits, add 1 cup shredded cheddar and ½ teaspoon garlic powder to the dry ingredients.
These biscuits are perfect with gravy, soup, chili, or honey.
Would you like me to share a sweet version — like Honey Butter Swim Biscuits with a soft golden crust and buttery glaze?
