Description

Butter Swim Biscuits are fluffy, tender, and buttery biscuits baked to golden perfection. Made with a simple mix of pantry staples like all-purpose flour, baking powder, and buttermilk, these biscuits are perfect for breakfast or as a side dish. Brushed with melted butter after baking, they offer a rich and delicious flavor, ideal for dipping in gravy or enjoying with honey and jam.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (or whole milk as an alternative)

For Brushing

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for brushing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Grease a 9×9-inch square baking dish, round cake pan, or use a cast-iron skillet for extra crispiness.
  2. Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Stir to mix evenly.
  3. Add the butter and buttermilk: Pour in the melted butter and buttermilk. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough. The dough should be slightly lumpy and sticky.
  4. Transfer the dough to the pan: Pour the biscuit dough into your prepared pan and spread gently with a spatula. There’s no need to make the surface perfect as the dough will rise and create a fluffy texture.
  5. Bake the biscuits: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
  6. Brush with butter (optional): Once baked, brush the biscuits with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter for added richness and flavor.
  7. Serve: Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, perfect for dipping in gravy, drizzling with honey, or pairing with jam.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough to keep the biscuits fluffy and tender.
  • Using buttermilk yields the best flavor and texture, but whole milk can be substituted.
  • A cast-iron skillet helps create a crispier biscuit crust.
  • Brush with butter after baking for a glossy finish and enhanced richness.
  • Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
