Butter Swim Biscuits are a delightful twist on traditional biscuit recipes, offering a unique method that results in an incredibly flaky and buttery texture.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
Optional: 1 teaspoon garlic powder or dried herbs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Optional: 1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Pour in the buttermilk and melted butter. Stir gently until a sticky dough forms.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, pour in about 1/2 cup of melted butter.
Drop generous scoops of the biscuit dough onto the melted butter in the baking dish, leaving space between each.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
