Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup milk (preferably whole milk)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for swimming)
2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh herbs (like parsley or chives, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; do not overmix.
Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a cast-iron skillet with melted butter.
Pour the biscuit dough into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining melted butter with minced garlic and herbs, if using. Pour this mixture over the biscuit dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Cut into squares and enjoy warm.
