4. Add the buttermilk to the flour mixture and stir with rubber spatula until just incorporated.
5. Use a cookie scoop to evenly distribute balls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, about 1 1/2 inches apart. Using a pastry brush, brush additional ghee onto biscuit tops. Bake until tops are golden brown, rotating sheet halfway through baking, 13 to 15 minutes.
