Why This Buttery Bliss: Butter Swim Biscuits?

• Melt-in-your-mouth goodness: The secret to these biscuits’ heavenly taste lies in the buttery bath they take before baking. This unique “swimming” process infuses them with rich flavor and an unbelievably tender texture.
• Simple yet sensational: With just a handful of common pantry ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these delectable biscuits in no time. The combination of buttermilk, flour, and a few other essentials works like magic to create biscuit perfection.
• Versatile and satisfying: Enjoy these biscuits any time of day – they’re perfect for breakfast alongside some raspberry jam, a delightful accompaniment to lunch and dinner, or even as a snack with your favorite toppings.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (300g)
• 2 cups buttermilk (475 ml)
• 1 stick butter (113g)
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 4 tsp sugar
• 2 tsp salt

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius).

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 until you get a moist dough.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.

Pour the melted butter into an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish. Ensure that your pan isn’t too shallow to avoid butter drips during baking.

Place the dough right on top of the melted butter and use a spatula to spread it evenly until it touches the sides.

Cut the unbaked, butter-covered dough into 9 even squares.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden brown on top.

Serve warm and enjoy the irresistible buttery bliss!

Notes:

• For a delightful twist, try adding grated cheese or herbs to the dough before baking.
• If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
• These biscuits are best served fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat them in the oven for a few minutes before enjoying them again.
