Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Next, melt 1 stick of butter in a microwave-safe bowl and place in a 8×8 Baking Dish or 7×11 Baking Dish. Make sure you spread it into all the corners and up on the sides slightly. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together self-rising flour and sugar, and pour in buttermilk. Gently fold until just combined and the mixture is lumpy and looks like cottage cheese. Be careful to not overmix the biscuit dough, stir until JUST combined.
  3. Pour the biscuit dough into the prepared baking dish with melted butter and evenly spread with a spatula. It’s A-Okay if some of the butter seeps onto the top of the biscuit dough.
  4.  Use a butter knife and cut the dough into 9 or 12 even squares.  Bake in the oven for 25-28 minutes (if using 8×8 pan) or 18-22 minutes (if using 7×11 pan) or until the tops are a light golden brown.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before cutting and serving warm.
