Craving that irresistible scent of freshly baked biscuits filling your kitchen? Get ready to fall in love with Butter Swim Biscuits — a timeless recipe where rich, golden butter meets tender, fluffy biscuits for a heavenly bite you won’t be able to resist. Let’s dive into this delicious baking adventure and create a batch of pure comfort!
Here’s how to make these buttery delights:
1. Warm up your oven: Set your oven to a toasty 450°F (230°C) — the perfect temperature for a golden crust.
2. Melt the magic: Pop unsalted butter into an 8-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Microwave for 1 minute, then give it a stir. Keep microwaving in 20-second bursts, stirring each time, until the butter’s melted to liquid gold.
3. Mix your dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt — the foundation for your soft, fluffy biscuits.
4. Add the buttermilk: Pour the creamy buttermilk into the dry mix and stir gently until it comes together into a smooth batter.
5. Pour and score: Pour the batter right over the melted butter in the baking dish. Spread it evenly, then use a bench scraper to cut the dough into 9 perfect, pull-apart squares.
6. Bake to perfection: Slide the dish into your preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes — until the tops turn a beautiful golden brown and your kitchen is filled with that mouthwatering aroma.
