Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Topping
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the biscuits to golden perfection.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Add Buttermilk: Pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until the mixture comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
- Prepare Baking Dish with Butter: Pour the melted 1/2 cup unsalted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading it to cover the bottom evenly.
- Combine Dough and Butter: Spoon the biscuit dough directly into the baking dish over the melted butter and spread it out evenly with a spatula or spoon.
- Score Dough: Use a sharp knife to score the top of the dough into 9 evenly sized squares to make it easier to separate after baking.
- Bake Biscuits: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown and the butter is bubbling around the edges.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Topping: While the biscuits bake, mix cinnamon and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a small bowl to create the topping.
- Brush and Sprinkle: Once out of the oven, immediately brush the biscuits with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter, then generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the warm biscuits.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the biscuit dough before baking.
- Serve the biscuits warm to enjoy their soft texture and rich buttery taste.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
