How to Make Easy Pan Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of buttermilk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Lightly flour your hands and turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
  6. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out 20 biscuits.
  7. Place biscuits in a lightly greased 8x8 inch baking pan.
  8. Brush the tops of the biscuits with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Immediately after removing from oven, brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  11. Serve warm and enjoy!
