🧈 Perfectly Fluffy Butter Swim Biscuits

These buttery, fluffy biscuits are a Southern favorite. They “swim” in butter as they bake, creating a golden, crispy crust on the outside and a soft, fluffy center. Perfect with breakfast, as a dinner side, or all on their own with a touch of jam or gravy!

📝 Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 4 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Melt the Butter:
    Place the 1/2 cup of butter in an 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking dish. Put the dish in the oven just long enough to melt the butter (keep an eye on it—don’t let it burn). Once melted, carefully remove from the oven.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  4. Add Buttermilk:
    Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. The dough will be a bit sticky and soft—this is normal!
  5. Shape the Dough:
    Pour the biscuit dough into the dish with the melted butter. Gently spread the dough evenly across the dish using a spatula or your hands (the butter will come up around the sides—that’s what you want!).
  6. Cut Biscuits Before Baking:
    Use a knife to cut the dough into 9 equal squares (3 rows by 3 rows). This helps the biscuits bake more evenly and makes them easier to separate after baking.
  7. Bake:
    Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Serve:
    Let cool slightly, then serve warm! Delicious with butter, honey, jam, or gravy.

✅ Tips:

  • Don’t overmix the dough—this keeps the biscuits light and fluffy.
  • If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 3/4 cups of milk, then letting it sit for 5–10 minutes.
  • These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh, but they reheat well in the oven or toaster oven.

🥐 Enjoy your buttery, melt-in-your-mouth biscuits! Let me know if you’d like a sweet or savory twist on these.
