Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups cold buttermilk
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted, plus more for basting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and pinch of salt.
- Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir until just combined into a soft dough. Do not overmix.
- Melt the butter in the microwave and pour into an 8×8 oven-safe casserole dish.
- Spoon the dough evenly over the melted butter. Don’t worry if it mixes with the butter.
- Spread out the biscuit dough with a spatula and score into 9 equal squares using a sharp knife. Go over the cuts a second time, if needed.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown. Insert a toothpick into the center biscuit to ensure it comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and brush the tops with additional melted butter.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
- ENJOY!
Notes
- Use cold buttermilk for best results.
- Don’t skip brushing with extra melted butter—it makes the tops glossy and flavorful.
- A glass or ceramic dish works best for even browning.
- Test the center biscuit with a toothpick to ensure doneness.
