Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch round baking pan.

Work together Bisquick and buttermilk to smooth dough. Dip hand in just enough Bisquick to kneed dough in bowl until smooth and elastic. Shape dough into 16 thin patties, placing 1 atop another forming 8 biscuits in prepared baking pan.

Bake at 450 degrees F for 16 to 18 minutes or until golden. Wipe tops at once in butter. They split easily because of the way you formed them with the 2 pieces.

Cool 10 minutes before serving. Split with thumbs instead of cutting with knife. These do not keep well. Right out of oven wipe tops again with dabs more butter to keep surface soft and tender.
