Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Pour melted butter into a 9×9-inch baking dish, making sure it evenly coats the bottom.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add buttermilk and shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Pour the biscuit batter over the melted butter in the dish. Use a spatula to spread evenly.
  5. Cut the unbaked dough into 9 squares (3x3 grid) to help with portioning after baking.
  6. Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until golden brown on top and set in the center.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor!

Notes

For best results, use freshly shredded cheddar cheese and real buttermilk. You can add garlic powder or herbs for extra flavor.
