Butter Dip Biscuits

1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons granulated sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 3/4 cups buttermilk

 

Preheat oven to 450 F degrees.

 Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with

 nonstick cooking spray. In a microwave-safe bowl

(or you can use the baking dish that you'll be baking these in),

 melt butter in the microwave.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour,

sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour in the buttermilk.

 Stir until a loose dough forms. Batter will be a bit sticky.

Press biscuit dough into baking dish

 (right on top of the melted butter).

 Take a sharp knife and cut the biscuit dough into 9 squares

 before baking.

Bake for about 20-25 minutes, rotating dish once during baking.
