Butter Swim Biscuits
Butter Swim Biscuits are soft, square biscuits made from flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, buttermilk, and melted butter. The dough is spooned into melted butter in a baking dish, then cut before baking to allow individual square biscuits with buttery crusts. These biscuits offer a moist, tender crumb with rich butter flavor.
