Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450F. Add the butter to a 9 x 9-inch casserole dish and place inside the oven while its preheating.
In a large bowl mix the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Add the buttermilk and stir until just combined.
Remove the casserole dish from the oven and pour the batter on top of the hot butter. Use a spatula or knife to spread the dough. Run the knife through the dough cutting 9, 3 inch squares.
Bake for 20-25 minutes rotating the pan once halfway through cooking until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown. Serve immediately.

Room Temp: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They last up to 2 days.
Fridge: Store in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out. They will last up to 5 days.
Freezer: Wrap the cooled biscuits individually and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw at room temperature or overnight in the fridge.
Reheating: Warm the biscuits in a 350°F oven for 5 to 10 minutes or in the air fryer at 325°F for 2 to 4 minutes. If you just need one fast, microwave it for about 10 to 15 seconds.
