Fluffy Butter Swim Biscuits
Fluffy butter swim biscuits with a crispy golden crust and soft buttermilk center. Baked in a pool of melted butter and ready in under an hour.
Ingredients
Biscuits
- 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 cups (490 g) buttermilk
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and kosher salt to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir until the batter is mostly combined. Avoid overmixing.
Bake
- Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish. Spread the batter evenly over the butter, pressing it gently to the edges of the pan.
- Score the unbaked batter into nine squares. Bake for 28 minutes, or until the tops are deep golden brown.
- Let the biscuits rest a few minutes so the remaining butter is absorbed, then cut along the scored lines and serve.
