Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 12 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 12 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 34 teaspoon salt

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees.
  • Melt the 1 stick butter and let cool about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together the dry ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter and the buttermilk, and stir until clumps form.
  • Stir the liquid into the dry ingredients until just incorporated and the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Using a 1/4 cup dry measure, scoop out and drop 12 balls of dough onto the baking sheet (this is easier if you spray the measuring cup with nonstick cooking spray).
  • Bake until the tops are golden brown, about 14 minutes.
  • Let cool on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and brush the tops of the biscuits with the butter before serving.
