Making Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients:

2.5 cups of all-purpose flour (Einkorn flour can be substituted 1:1)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1.5 tablespoons sugar
1.5 tablespoons salt
3/4 cups of unsalted butter (1.5 sticks)
1 3/4 cups cold buttermilk

Directions:

Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan and then pour it into your baking pan. Allow it to sit while you mix together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and buttermilk.
Pour the flour mixture into the melted butter, spreading it out evenly and allowing the butter to run all over the top. This step is where the magic happens, so go ahead and cut your biscuits, creating little pockets for the butter to seep into.
