Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon fine salt
- 1.5 cup buttermilk well-shaken
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.125 teaspoon flaky sea salt optional, for finishing
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Add the butter to an 8 by 8 inch metal baking pan and place in the oven until fully melted and sizzling, about 5 minutes. Carefully remove the hot pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Pour in the buttermilk and vanilla. Stir with a spatula until a thick, shaggy dough forms; do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Scrape the dough into the hot buttered pan. Gently spread to the corners; spoon some melted butter over the top. Score the surface into 9 squares with a knife.
- Bake until deep golden brown at the edges and a toothpick comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes.
- Cool 5 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky salt if using, then cut along the score lines and serve warm.
Notes
For extra texture, swap 0.25 cup of the chocolate chips for chopped toasted pecans. Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 2 days; reheat at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes.
