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
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Butter: Preheat your oven to 450°F. Pour the melted butter into a 9×9 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom to create a rich base for the biscuits.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and flavor components.
- Add Buttermilk and Combine: Pour in the buttermilk and gently stir the mixture just until combined, forming a soft dough. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
- Transfer Dough to Dish: Spread the dough evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish, smoothing the top gently to prepare for baking.
- Score the Dough: Using a knife, score the dough into 9 equal squares to make them easy to separate after baking.
- Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, then evenly sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the dough.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. For extra richness, you may brush additional melted butter over the top. Serve warm, optionally with a simple glaze for added sweetness.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough to ensure the biscuits remain tender and light.
- These biscuits are best served warm for optimal flavor and texture.
- For added richness, brush more melted butter on top after baking.
- You can drizzle a simple glaze over the biscuits for extra sweetness.
