Why You’ll Love This
These tasty biscuits go with just about anything breakfast, lunch, or dinner! What’s great about these swimming in butter biscuits is you don’t have to cut cold butter in or grate cold butter. And no biscuit cutter is required. All you need is a knife to score them before baking.
What You’ll Need
You probably already have the ingredients in your pantry and fridge. If you don’t have buttermilk you can make your own. The essential biscuit ingredients are all-purpose flour, unsalted butter, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and buttermilk. That’s all you need!
Tips
Measure the flour correctly. Aerate, spoon, and swoop level.Just like with regular biscuits don’t over-mix the dough. The biscuits will be dense and tough.We recommend a glass or ceramic baking pan. Metal tends to heat the butter too much and causes it to burn.Don’t let the melted butter boil or get too hot. Just hot enough to melt the butter.You can melt the butter in the baking pan in the preheating oven but watch it closely. You don’t want the butter to burn. You can remove it from the oven when it’s almost completely melted. It will continue to melt while you make the biscuit dough.People have different preferences regarding how “golden brown” biscuits should be. You can cover them with foil if they are starting to brown too much for your taste.
How to Make Easy Homemade Butter Swim Biscuits
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Prepare an 8×8 or 9×9 glass baking dish with baking spray. In a microwave-safe bowl melt the butter. Pour the melted butter into the baking dish. In a medium bowl whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together. The sugar is optional, it adds just a touch of sweetness. We prefer our biscuits without sugar added. Pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients, and mix just until a sticky shaggy batter forms. Spoon the biscuit dough on top of the melted butter in the baking dish. Spread the dough out evenly with a spatula or use your hands. As best as you can, cut the dough into 9 squares. This helps with cutting them after they are baked. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Serve these buttery biscuits with breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. Top them with more butter, your favorite jam, honey, maple syrup, or apple butter!
