Ingredients
Scale
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk (or whole milk and vinegar – see Notes below)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
- Melt a stick of butter in a small pot on your stovetop.
- Pour the melted butter into a 9×9-inch glass baking dish.
- In a large bowl, add & whisk all the dry ingredients.
- Stir in the buttermilk to form a thick, sticky dough.
- Pour the dough into the pan of butter.
- Using a greased spatula or your hands, press down the dough to form an even layer. It's okay if the butter spills over the top. (That's desirable actually.)
- Using a knife, gently cut the dough into 9 equal squares, but it doesn't have to be cut all the way through.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through baking, rotate the dish to avoid overcooking one side. Start checking carefully at the 25-min. mark.
- Enjoy!
