Butter Swim Biscuits are buttermilk biscuits that are baked drenched in butter for a biscuit that has a crispy crust with a soft and fluffy inside.

BUTTER SWIM BISCUITS
2 ½ cups sifted all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups buttermilk
½ cup butter, melted

• Preheat the oven to 425°.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.
• Drizzle the buttermilk into the sifted flour mixture and gentle stir until mostly combined. Be careful not to overwork the batter.
• Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish.
• Spread the dough evenly over the butter all the way to the edges.
• Cut the unbaked dough into a 3×3 pattern (9 squares).
• Bake for 28 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
• Allow the butter to be absorbed into the biscuits before cutting and serving.


NOTES:

• Place the baking dish on a baking sheet in case of spillover.
• I often use herb butter to add flavor.
