Ingredients
Scale
- 2½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (480ml) buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon (15g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15g) baking powder
- 1 teaspoon (5g) salt
- ½ cup (113g) salted butter
- 1 tablespoon (15g) honey (optional)
- 2 tablespoons (28g) melted butter for brushing tops
- ¼ teaspoon (1g) flaky sea salt for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Select an 8×8 or 9×9-inch square baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Pour buttermilk into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until no dry flour remains visible. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
- Cut cold butter into thin slices and arrange evenly across the bottom of your baking dish. Drizzle with honey if using.
- Pour the biscuit batter over the butter, then spread it evenly to the edges. Score the batter into 9 or 12 squares with a knife.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
- Let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before serving warm.
