Ingredients

- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 stick of butter
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 4 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp salt
How to Make Butter Swim Biscuits
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients and mix everything together until a moist dough forms.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the stick of butter completely.
- Pour the melted butter into a baking dish measuring either 8×8 or 9×9. Make sure the dish is deep enough to prevent the butter from overflowing.
- Place the dough directly on top of the melted butter in the baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, making sure it touches the sides.
- Cut the dough into 9 evenly-sized squares. At this point, the dough should be luxuriating in a pool of melted butter.
- Bake the biscuits for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
- Once baked, marvel at the heavenly aroma wafting through your kitchen!
- Serve these delectable biscuits for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They make the perfect accompaniment to any meal. My personal favorite way to enjoy them is with a generous spoonful of raspberry jam.
