📝 Description

Butter Swim Biscuits are southern comfort at its finest. Imagine a biscuit so soft and tender it melts in your mouth, with crispy, golden edges from baking right in a bath of butter. No rolling or cutting necessary — just mix, pour, bake, and devour.

These rich, decadent biscuits "swim" in melted butter while baking, which infuses them with flavor and creates an ultra-flaky crust. Whether you serve them with honey and jam, gravy, or fried chicken, these biscuits are an effortless, indulgent classic that you’ll come back to again and again.

🧂 Ingredients (U.S. Standard Measurements)

🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat & Prepare

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the stick of butter in an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish and place the dish in the oven. Let the butter melt as the oven heats. Once melted, carefully remove and set aside.

2. Mix the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. The dough will be sticky — that’s what you want!

3. Add to Butter

Pour the dough into the hot dish over the melted butter. Use a spatula or spoon to gently spread the dough evenly to the edges.

4. Score the Dough

Using a knife, score the dough into 9 equal squares. This will help the biscuits separate more easily after baking.

5. Bake

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Cool & Serve

Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm!

🔁 Variation (From Me!)

🧄 Garlic Herb Butter Biscuits

Add ½ teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon dried parsley to the dry mix. Melt the butter with a pinch of Italian seasoning or minced garlic. You’ll get a savory dinner biscuit perfect with soups, stews, or roasted chicken.

🧠 Tips & Tricks

• No buttermilk? Make your own by mixing 1 ¾ cups whole milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice. Let sit for 5 minutes.
• Use a glass or ceramic dish for best heat distribution and buttery crisp edges.
• Don’t overmix the dough — stir until just combined to keep the biscuits tender.
• Want sweeter biscuits? Add an extra tablespoon of sugar and top with honey butter.
