🧈 Butter Swim Biscuits
Butter Swim Biscuits are soft, fluffy biscuits baked in a pool of melted butter—so they come out crispy on the edges and tender inside 😋
🍞 What makes them special?
Unlike traditional biscuits, these:
- Don’t require rolling or cutting
- “Swim” in butter while baking
- Turn golden and slightly crispy on the bottom
🛒 Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat oven
Set to 220°C (425°F)
2. Melt the butter
- Place butter in a baking dish
- Let it melt in the oven
3. Mix the dough
- Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt
- Add buttermilk and mix (don’t overmix)
4. Pour & spread
- Pour dough directly over melted butter
- Gently spread evenly
5. Score before baking
- Cut into squares (this helps later serving)
6. Bake
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown
😍 Texture & taste
- Crispy buttery bottom
- Soft, fluffy inside
- Rich, slightly tangy flavor
🧠 Tips
