Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Step 2

Place the butter in an 8 x 8 inch microwavable baking dish and melt in the microwave or oven. Set aside.

Step 3

Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the buttermilk and mix just to combine. Mixture will be sticky and wet.

Step 4

Transfer the dough into the baking dish over the melted butter. Using a spoon or spatula, press the dough evenly across dish and into each corner. Don’t worry if the butter oozes up over the edges of the dough. Using a sharp knife, cut through the dough cutting it into nine equal squares.

Step 5

Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes until biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 6

Serve hot. No butter needed!
