Butter Swim Biscuits
Description
This recipe combines flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt as the dry base, mixed with buttermilk to form a soft dough. Instead of mixing butter directly into the dough, melted butter is poured into the baking dish, and spoonfuls of dough are dropped over the butter. The dough is then gently spread and cut into squares before baking at a high temperature.
The high oven heat creates a golden-brown top and allows the butter beneath to soak into the biscuit base while baking. Cutting the dough into squares prior to baking ensures distinct biscuits are formed with buttery edges. The texture is tender and moist due to the buttermilk and butter combination, with a light sweetness from the sugar.
Once baked, letting the biscuits rest allows the butter to be fully absorbed, enhancing flavor and moisture. These biscuits can accompany breakfasts, soups, or be served with jams or butter.
