Description

Butter Swim Biscuits are a quick and easy homemade biscuit recipe boasting a soft and moist interior with a flaky crust on the outside, thanks to the generous use of butter. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these biscuits pair wonderfully with jam, gravy, or as a comforting side dish.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 4 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 stick butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the biscuits.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt, stirring thoroughly to evenly distribute all dry ingredients.
  3. Add Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and mix with the dry ingredients until a moist dough forms; do not overmix to maintain biscuit tenderness.
  4. Melt Butter and Prepare Pan: Melt 1 stick of butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour the melted butter into an 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking dish, ensuring the dish is deep enough to hold the butter without spilling during baking.
  5. Arrange Dough in pan: Place the biscuit dough on top of the melted butter and use a spatula to spread it evenly until it reaches the sides of the pan.
  6. Cut Biscuit Squares: Using a knife or spatula, cut the unbaked dough into 9 roughly equal-sized squares while it sits in the butter.
  7. Bake Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuit tops turn golden brown and the edges look flaky.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from oven and enjoy the biscuits warm with your choice of raspberry jam, gravy, or alongside any meal.

Notes

  • Make sure your baking dish is deep enough to hold the melted butter while baking to prevent drips in the oven. If unsure, place a sheet pan beneath your baking dish to catch any excess butter drippings.
  • For a flakier crust, avoid overworking the dough when mixing and spreading on the pan.
  • These biscuits are versatile and can be served with sweet or savory toppings depending on your preference.
