What Are Butter Swim Biscuits?
Butter Swim Biscuits are my latest obsession. Picture this: fluffy, tender biscuits that literally swim in melted butter as they bake, soaking up all that rich, buttery goodness. That’s why they’re called Butter Swim Biscuits – the dough is poured directly into a pool of melted butter in the baking dish. They’re incredibly easy to make, with no need for rolling out dough or using a biscuit cutter. Just mix, pour, bake, and voilà – you have perfectly golden, buttery biscuits that are irresistible. First, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Tip: Whisking the dry ingredients helps distribute the baking powder and salt evenly, which results in a consistent rise. Pour in 2 cups of buttermilk and stir until just combined. The dough will be sticky, which is exactly what you want. Tip: Avoid over-mixing to keep the biscuits tender and fluffy. Pour ½ cup of melted unsalted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish. Spoon the dough into the baking dish, directly on top of the melted butter. Use a spatula to spread the dough evenly. Using a knife, cut the dough into 9 squares. This helps the biscuits bake evenly and makes them easier to separate after baking. Tip: Scoring the dough before baking allows for easy separation and uniform baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tip: Baking at a high temperature helps the biscuits rise quickly and form a beautiful crust. Allow the biscuits to cool in the pan for a few minutes before cutting them along the pre-scored lines and serving. Tip: Letting them cool slightly makes them easier to handle and helps them set.
