Description
These golden Butter Swim Biscuits are baked in a pool of melted butter for an ultra-tender center and crispy, buttery edges. This easy Southern-style biscuit recipe uses buttermilk and pantry staples—perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side to comfort food favorites.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 ¾ cups buttermilk
½ cup butter (1 stick), melted
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 450°F and melt the butter in an 8×8 baking dish.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
3. Pour in buttermilk and stir until just combined; dough will be sticky.
4. Transfer dough to the buttered baking dish and gently spread it out.
5. Score the dough with a knife into 9 squares (do not cut all the way through).
6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown on top.
7. Let cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh and warm.
Use real butter—not margarine—for the best results.
Don’t overmix the dough to keep them light and fluffy.
