Evil biscuit recipe

Okay, so they really aren't called evil biscuits.  Here's the recipe, in case anyone wants to make them.  I didn't have enough jars, so I made mine in muffin tins.  My muffin tin has 12 compartments so I divided the dough up equally to fill all 12.  It didn't need too much butter on the bottom of each muffin tin, and some of it even spilled over in the oven.  I used a stick of butter and divided it by 12, but it could have used less.  Maybe they wouldn't have been so evil then...  In any case, I got this recipe from my friend Mary.

Self Buttered Biscuits

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour
4 tsp. sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. Kosher salt

1 1/3 cups milk

1 stick butter divided into 8 tablespoons

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar,
baking powder, and salt. When your oven is up to temperature, place one
tablespoon of butter in each of eight 1/2 pint wide mouth mason jars.
Place them on a tray and heat in oven until the butter is melted.
Remove from oven, and using a pot holder, pick up jar and swirl
butter around the edges of each jar. Quickly stir milk into flour
mixture until smooth, and using a large ice cream scoop, scoop a
heaping spoonful of dough into each jar. Poke a butter knife in the
center of each biscuit and move around a bit to loosen the biscuit
from the bottom of the jar. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown
on top and biscuit is cooked through. Remove from oven, gently run a
knife around each biscuit and using a pot holder, turn each biscuit
out on a platter. Serve with a nice big breakfast. Makes 8 large biscuits.
