Best Butter Swim Biscuits

Let’s Get These Biscuits Rolling:

1/ First things first, round up all your ingredients. It’s always smoother when you’re not searching high and low mid-process.

2/ Fire up that oven to a blazing 450 degrees F (or 230 degrees C for our metric-loving friends).

3/ Take your trusty 8-inch square baking dish, glass or ceramic works best. Pop the butter in and give it a good melt in the microwave. Start with a minute, then check and stir. If it needs a tad more melting, go in 20-second spurts until it’s all liquid gold.

4/ Grab a bowl and sift in your flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Give it a good whisk – we want all those ingredients mingling.

5/ Now for the magic – pour in that buttermilk and stir until you have a lovely, cohesive mix.

6/ Gently pour your biscuit mixture over that melted butter in the dish. To get those perfect portions, use a bench scraper (or a trusty old knife) and mark out 9 squares.

7/ Into the oven they go! Keep a keen eye on them, and in about 20 to 25 minutes, they should be turning a lovely golden brown on top.
