Instructions:
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Place the stick of butter in a 9×13 inch baking dish and melt in the oven as it preheats. Keep an eye on it to ensure the butter melts without browning or burning. Remove the dish from the oven once the butter is melted.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. If you’re adding garlic powder or any other seasonings, mix them in with the dry ingredients.
- Add Buttermilk:
- Pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; the batter will be somewhat lumpy, but that’s okay. Do not overmix to ensure your biscuits remain tender.
- Pour Batter into Pan:
- Carefully pour the batter into the prepared baking dish with the melted butter. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly, but don’t worry about mixing the butter into the batter. The butter will encase the batter as it bakes.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve:
- Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes, then cut into squares and serve while warm. Enjoy the rich, buttery flavor!
Tips:
- Buttermilk Substitute: If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Flavor Variations: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings like cheddar cheese, chives, or even a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- Serving Suggestion: These biscuits are perfect on their own or served alongside your favorite meals, especially soups, stews, or salads.
