Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter melted and divided

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  2. Pour in the buttermilk and stir with a spoon just until the dry ingredients are moistened and the batter comes together. Do not overmix.
  3. Lightly coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  4. Pour 1/4 cup of the melted butter into the prepared pan and swirl to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
  5. Add the remaining melted butter to the batter and stir gently with a spoon until just incorporated.
  6. Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and spread it into an even layer.
  7. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

For a richer flavor, substitute half the buttermilk with plain yogurt. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, wrap in foil and warm in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the biscuits tender. This bread pairs beautifully with honey butter or a drizzle of maple syrup.
