Buttermilk Biscuits

I finally found a biscuit recipe worth keeping!!! The Country Cook's Butter Dip Biscuits can be found here or below.

Ingredients:

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter*

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

4 tsp. granulated sugar

4 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. kosher salt

1 3/4 cup buttermilk

*If you use salted butter omit kosher salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450F degrees.

Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray OR if your baking dish is microwave-safe melt your butter in your dish, otherwise melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl.

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.
 It is easiest to spread it out with your hands.

 Take a sharp knife and cut the biscuit dough into portions before baking.

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

*I only had a 8 inch pie dish that would work for this recipe without doubling it so I placed a cookie sheet underneath dish to catch any drippings!
