Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Place the butter in a cast iron skillet or an 8x8-inch baking dish and melt it in the preheated oven. Be careful not to let it burn.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir in the buttermilk until just combined.
