Buttery Elegance: Melt-in-Your-Mouth Butter-Infused Biscuits Ingredients
The magic lies in the simplicity of the ingredients:
- Flour: 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour
- Sugar: 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- Buttermilk: 2 cups (490 g) (homemade buttermilk can be easily prepared)
- Butter: ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
How to Store Biscuits
While biscuits are at their best when enjoyed fresh on the same day, you can prepare them a day ahead following these steps:
- Bake the biscuits.
- Allow them to cool to room temperature.
- Wrap tightly with foil (use plastic wrap only if the biscuits are completely cooled to avoid sogginess).
- Refrigerate until ready to use (or leave at room temperature if preferred).
- Warm in the oven at the lowest temperature for up to 10 minutes when ready to serve.
How to Freeze Biscuits
For long-term enjoyment, freeze the cooled biscuits by wrapping them tightly with foil or plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer-safe storage bag. Properly sealed, they should remain fresh for a couple of months.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to sift the ingredients.
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir until mostly combined, avoiding overworking the batter.
- Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish. Place the dough on top of the butter and use a spatula (or your hands) to evenly spread the dough out to the edges of the pan.
- Cut the unbaked dough into 9 squares (3×3 pattern). Bake for 28 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
- Allow the butter to be absorbed into the biscuits before cutting and serving.
