Ingredients

0.5 cup unsalted butter
2.5 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
4 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1.75 cups buttermilk

Instructions

Assemble all the necessary ingredients.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Place the butter in an 8-inch square baking dish made of glass or ceramic. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until the butter is completely melted.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Add the buttermilk and stir until just combined.
Pour the dough into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly over the melted butter. Use a bench scraper or knife to divide the dough into 9 equal pieces.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
