Butter Dip Biscuits
Ingredients:
1 stick (1/2 cup) uns alted butter (see notes below)
2 1/2 cups allpurpose
flour
4 tsp. granulated sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. kosher salt
1 3/4 cup buttermilk (see notes below)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450F degrees.
Spray an 8inch
square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a microwavesafe
bowl (or you can use the baking dish that you'll be baking these in), melt stick of
butter in the microwave.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Pour in the buttermilk. Stir until a loose dough forms. Dough will be sticky.
Press biscuit dough into baking dish (right on top of the melted butter).
It is easiest to spread it out with your hands.
Take a sharp knife and cut the biscuit dough into 9 squares before baking.
Bake for about 2025
minutes, rotating once during baking.
If you notice that some of the butter that is coming up to the top is getting brown, just take a paper
towel and dab around the edges a bit.
Oven times do vary since different ovens have different hot spots, but basically biscuits should be
golden brown on top and spring back to the touch.
Cook’s Note : I really recommend only using buttermilk with these but if all you have on hand is
regular milk then you can use that (just not skim milk, that stuff is far too watery). Keep in mind
though that when you use regular milk, you'll have to cut back on the amount you use because regular
milk is much thinner than buttermilk. You may need to use about 1 1/4 cups 1
1/2 cups (start with
less, you can always add more in).
The buttermilk adds such great flavor to these biscuits so if you can get your hands on some,
definitely give it a try. Also, if you use salted butter, make sure you leave out the additional salt that is
added to the dough.
