Add the cubed butter to the bottom of a 9×9 pan.
Turn on the oven to 450 degrees F and place the pan inside. Let the butter melt and the pan warm up while the oven preheats. Remove it immediately after the butter has melted.
In the meantime, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to a large bowl, and whisk to combine.
Next, pour in the buttermilk and stir together with a wooden spoon until a thoroughly combined and sticky dough is formed.
Remove the pan with the fully melted butter from the oven and spread the dough on top of the melted butter, using a wooden spoon or spatula. Distribute evenly in the pan, from side to side.
Pour the additional 2 tablespoons of melted butter on top, this will make the biscuits golden on top.
Using a sharp knife cut the dough in the pan into 9 biscuits before baking.
Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 18 – 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
After that, run a sharp knife through the incision lines and serve the biscuits.
Serve warm or cold as a side dish or with jam.
