Servings: 24 biscuits
Calories: 162kcal
Ingredients
- 4 cups (500 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 4 cups (980 g) buttermilk
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for brushing if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. The dough will be very sticky, and that is exactly what you want for soft, fluffy biscuits.
- Pour the melted butter into a 9x13-inch deep baking dish.
- Transfer the sticky dough into the buttered pan. Use a spatula or lightly floured hands to gently spread the dough into an even layer.
- Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into a 4x6 grid to create 24 biscuits. Cut the biscuits directly in the pan before baking.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Then, loosely tent the pan with aluminum foil and continue baking for an additional 7 to 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the center biscuits are cooked through. The edges will be deliciously crispy from the butter.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm. If desired, brush the tops with additional melted butter before serving.
