Let’s get started on this delicious journey of making Butter Swim Biscuits!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 stick butter
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 4 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp salt
-
Preheat 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. *READ NOTES BELOW (you need to make sure that your pan is not too 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, butter-covered dough into 9 evenish squares.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
-
Enjoy for breakfast, lunch or dinner! These biscuits are the perfect companion to any meal. I prefer to eat them with raspberry jam.
Recipe Notes*Make sure that you have plenty of room in your pan for the butter to boil while baking. If you’re concerned about your dish being too shallow, you can place a sheet pan underneath your dish to catch any butter drippings.
