Savor the delightful, flaky perfection of Butter Swim Biscuits. These biscuits are immersed in melted butter before baking, creating a soft and tender inside with a golden, crispy crust. They make a wonderful addition to any meal.
Yield: 9 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 stick of butter
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 4 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F.
- In a medium bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients.
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir until you have a moist dough.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe dish, then transfer it to an 8×8 or 9×9 baking pan. Ensure the pan is deep enough to prevent the butter from spilling over during baking.
- Place the dough directly into the melted butter and spread it evenly to the edges using a spatula.
- Cut the dough (now swimming in butter) into 9 roughly equal squares.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown.
These buttery biscuits are a versatile addition to any meal, whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I love pairing them with raspberry jam. Enjoy!
