Louise's Buttery Buttermilk Biscuits

 

Ingredients:

• 1 stick (1/2 cup) Butter
• 2 & 1/2 Cups All-purpose flour
• 1 & 1/2 Tablespoons sugar (any kind)
• 1 & 1/2 Tablespoons Baking Powder
• 1 & 1/2 Teaspoons Salt
• 1 & 3/4 Cup Buttermilk (okay to use 2 tablespoons of lemon juice mixed with enough milk to equal 1 & 3/4 Cup)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Spray an 8 X 8" baking dish with non-stick spray, put in your stick of butter and place into your pre-heating oven to melt the butter (keep an eye on it so butter doesn't burn).
3. In the meantime mix all dry ingredients into a medium bowl.
4. Pour buttermilk over dry ingredients and mix until a loose batter forms.  Batter should be quite sticky.
5. Pour batter into your prepared baking dish right on top of the melted butter - butter may run over the top of your batter, but this is okay.
6. Cut dough into 9 squares - this will help separate individual biscuits once they are cooked.
7. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes rotating the dish once during baking.
8. Biscuits should be golden brown and spring back when touched.
9. Enjoy!
