Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup (113 g) medium cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 cups (490 g) buttermilk
  • 1 recipe cowboy butter, melted, with 1 tablespoon reserved for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • To a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, salt, and cheese. Stir to combine.
  • Pour in the buttermilk. Stir until mostly combined, being careful not to overwork the batter.
  • Pour most of the melted cowboy butter into the prepared baking dish, reserving 1 tablespoon to brush over the tops of the baked biscuits. Place the dough on top of the butter. Using a spatula (or your hands), evenly spread the dough out to the edges of the pan.
  • Cut the unbaked dough into 9 squares. Bake for 26-28 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  • Allow the butter to be absorbed into the biscuits before serving.
