Ingredients:
2½ cups (312.5g) all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups (490g) buttermilk
½ cup (1 stick, 113g) butter, melted
Instructions :
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Use a whisk to sift the dry ingredients together evenly.
- Add the buttermilk to the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter for the fluffiest biscuits.
- Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish (or similar size). Gently place the biscuit dough on top of the butter and spread it evenly using a spatula or your hands.
- Using a knife, cut the unbaked dough into 9 squares (a 3×3 grid).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 28 minutes, or until the biscuit tops turn golden brown.
- Let the biscuits sit for a few minutes to absorb the butter before serving warm.
Tips for Perfect Butter Swim Biscuits
Use real buttermilk for the best texture and flavor. If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 2 tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice to 2 cups of milk.
Don’t skip cutting the dough into squares before baking—it ensures evenly sized portions that are easy to separate.
Serve with your favorite toppings like honey, jam, or gravy for a classic Southern breakfast!
