Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by lightly greasing the sides with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well incorporated and free of lumps.
- Pour the milk into the dry ingredient mixture and stir until a soft, sticky batter forms. Be careful not to overmix; mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Melt the butter and pour it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even coating across the entire surface.
- Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter directly into the melted butter. The batter will spread slightly and sit on top of the butter.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top of the biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool in the pan for 5 minutes. The biscuits will absorb the melted butter as they cool, creating a rich, moist texture.
- Serve warm, cutting or pulling the biscuits apart. Optional: Brush additional melted butter on top for extra richness.
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits, so embrace that soft, sticky batter!
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Ensure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise. If it’s been sitting in your pantry for a while, test its potency by adding a teaspoon to hot water—if it bubbles, it’s good to go!
- Butter Temperature Matters: Let the melted butter cool slightly before pouring it into the baking dish. This helps prevent the batter from cooking too quickly when it hits the hot butter.
- Experiment with Add-Ins: Feel free to get creative! Add shredded cheese, herbs, or spices to the batter for a unique twist that complements your meal.
- Serve Immediately: These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. If you have leftovers, reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to restore their fluffy texture.
