Butterswim Biscuits

This easy Butterswim Biscuits recipe features buttermilk biscuits that are quite literally swimming in butter! The result is a buttery flavor, a crispy exterior, and a fluffy interior.

You’ve never had buttermilk biscuits like this before! Now, I’ll never turn down a homemade buttermilk biscuit no matter how it’s made, but if you’re looking for a unique spin on the original, you have to try Butterswim Biscuits. They are truly something special!

Easy Butterswim Biscuits Recipe

Butterswim biscuits start with a basic buttermilk biscuit recipe, but what makes them different is that they are baked in a dish filled with melted butter. This makes the crust crispy, but the inside of the biscuits remains fluffy and soft. And then there’s the flavor! All that butter makes Butterswim Biscuits taste absolutely incredible.

This recipe is ridiculously easy, as you’ll see below. And because the biscuits are baked with butter, there’s no need to butter them before you eat them, so even though the recipe sounds over-the-top, the main difference is that the biscuits are baked with butter here, rather than adding it after they’re baked. Trust me when I say, you’re never going to want your biscuits any other way after you try this recipe!

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Kosher salt
• Granulated sugar
• Buttermilk
• Unsalted butter

Hint: If you don’t want to buy buttermilk, you can make your own by putting 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or white vinegar in a measuring cup, then filling it with whole milk to the 2 cup mark. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, until it curdles.

How to Make Butterswim Biscuits

1. Prepare

Melt the butter and preheat your oven to 450ºF.

2. Make the Biscuit Dough

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined.

3. Assemble

Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish and place the dough in the dish. Use a spatula to spread the dough evenly to the edges of the pan, then use a sharp knife to cut it into 9 squares.

4. Bake

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 28 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

5. Rest

Let the biscuits rest in the baking dish until the butter is absorbed into the biscuits, then cut and serve.

Place leftover Butterswim Biscuits in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. When you’re ready to reheat them, you can do this in the microwave or in an oven preheated to 350ºF.
