Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

2 ½ cups 312.5 g all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cups 227.5 g semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups 490 g buttermilk
½ cup 1 stick / 113 g unsalted butter, melted

Method

Preheat and Prepare the Pan

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish and spread it evenly. I tilt the pan to coat the corners.

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well so everything is evenly distributed.

Add Buttermilk

Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until combined. Do not overmix. The dough will look thick and slightly sticky.

Fold in Chocolate Chips

Stir in about 1 cup of the chocolate chips. Save the rest for the top.

Spread the Dough

Spoon the dough directly over the melted butter in the pan. Spread it gently to the edges. The butter will rise around the sides.

Score Before Baking

Use a knife to cut the dough into 9 squares before baking. This makes slicing easy later.

Add Remaining Chocolate Chips

Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top and press lightly.

Bake

Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown on top. The edges should look crisp and slightly browned from the butter.Let the biscuits cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

1. Do not overmix the dough.

2. Score before baking for clean slices.

3. Use room temperature buttermilk.

4. Let cool slightly before cutting.

5. Measure flour correctly to avoid dry biscuits.
