Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the biscuits.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar, mixing them thoroughly to distribute the leavening agent and seasoning evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the milk and melted butter into the dry mixture, stirring gently until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light and tender.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Spoon the remaining melted butter into the bottom of a baking dish to create a rich base for the biscuits to ‘swim’ in as they bake.
- Shape Biscuits: Spoon the biscuit dough over the melted butter in the baking dish, spacing them evenly.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown on top.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the biscuits warm for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy your breakfast treat!
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the biscuits tender and flaky.
- Using melted butter in the baking dish helps create a crispy, buttery bottom.
- Serve with honey, jam, or gravy for added flavor.
- Biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven the next day.
