Instructions:

1. Set your oven to 450°Fahrenheit.
2. In a medium bowl, add your all-purpose flour, kosher salt, baking powder, and sugar. Whisk your ingredients together.
3. Add in your buttermilk and stir until just combined. Be cautious not to overwork your batter.
4. Add your melted butter to an 8×8-inch baking dish. Using a spatula, add the dough on top of the butter. Evenly spread the dough out to the edges.
