Report
The easiest homemade buttermilk biscuits rise a mile high! With these 4-ingredient butter swim biscuits (or "butter dip biscuits"), there's no need to roll out the dough or cut out the biscuits.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Place butter in an 8-inch square glass or ceramic dish. Cover loosely and microwave in 30-second intervals until the butter melts.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour and sugar. Add the buttermilk to the flour mixture and stir just until combined.
- Transfer the dough to the dish with the melted butter. Gently press the dough into an even layer on top of the butter.
- Use a bench scraper or sharp knife to cut the dough into 9 squares.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown. Let the biscuits rest in the dish for at least 10 minutes, then serve.
Notes
- If you don't have buttermilk or self-rising flour on hand, see my notes above to make your own buttermilk and your own self-rising flour at home.
- Instead of a glass or ceramic baking dish, you can melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, and then transfer it to your dish of choice.
- Use unsalted butter instead of the salted butter if you prefer a less-salty biscuit.
- Don't overmix the dough. Stir just until all of the ingredients come together and you don't see any dry pockets of flour. Over-mixing will result in tough, dense biscuits.
- Use your fingers or a rubber spatula to press the dough into the pan with the butter. It's fine if some of the butter squishes up around the sides and on top of the dough!
- Allow the biscuits to rest for at least 10 minutes after baking. This will give them a chance to absorb any remaining butter in the dish.
