Recipe - Butter-Dipped Biscuits

One fourth cup Butter
1 One fourth cup Unbleached All Purpose
Flour
2 teaspoon Sugar
2 teaspoon Baking Powder
One half teaspoon Salt
2/3 cup Milk

Heat the oven to 450 degrees F. Heat the butter in a square pan 9 X 9 X
2inches, in the oven until the butter is melted. Mix the flour, sugar,
baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the milk and stir with a fork
just until a soft dough forms, about 30 strokes. Turn the dough out onto a
wellfloured clothcovered board. Coat the dough lightly with flour. Knead
lightly about 10 times. Roll or pat the dough into an 8inch square. With a
floured butter knife, cut the dough into halves, then cut each half into 9
strips. Dip each strip into the melted butter, coating both sides. Arrange
the strips close together in two rows in the pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes
or until golden brown.
