Butter Swim Biscuits
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups buttermilk
1 stick butter
4 tsp baking powder
4 tsp sugar
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.Combine all of the dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
Next, add the buttermilk and mix all of the ingredients together until a moist dough is formed.
Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl, and then pour it into an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish (make sure that your pan is not too small or shallow so that the butter doesn’t drip out of the pan while it’s baking).
Place the dough right on top of the melted butter and use a spatula to spread it evenly across the pan until it touches the sides.
Cut the unbaked dough (it should be swimming in butter at this point) into 9 evenish squares.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Butter Swim Biscuits are a delightful Southern treat that are incredibly easy to make and perfect for any occasion. The unique method of baking the biscuits in butter gives them a rich flavor and flaky texture that is hard to resist. These biscuits pair beautifully with homemade jam, honey, or simply enjoyed on their own. The key to achieving the perfect Butter Swim Biscuit is all about the buttermilk and the melting butter. The acidity in buttermilk aids in creating a tender biscuit, while the melted butter ensures a moist interior and crispy exterior. When cutting the dough into squares before baking, you can ensure that every piece is saturated in the delightful butter. Serve these biscuits fresh out of the oven for breakfast, alongside fried chicken, or even at a holiday gathering. Their warm, buttery flavor is sure to impress your family and guests alike. Don't forget to consider variations in flavor by adding herbs or cheese to the dough for an extra touch! With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up these biscuits in no time.
