2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups buttermilk
4 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 TBS granulated sugar
2 tsp salt
1 stick butter
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Place butter in an 8 X 8 baking dish and put the dish into the oven to allow the butter to melt.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add buttermilk slowly and mix until a moist dough is formed.
Remove baking dish from the oven and place dough on top of melted butter.
Using a spatula, spread dough evenly across pan until it touches the sides; the butter will come up over the dough, and that's okay.
Bake for 15 minutes then remove and cut dough into 9 equal squares.
Place back in oven and bake until golden brown, about 5 to 10 minutes more.
