EASY BUTTER SWIM BISCUITS

O.M.GOODNESS!!  I just found out about these biscuits yesterday over on Instagram.   I have to say, these do NOT disappoint.  Crunchy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. 🥰

I recommended using an 8×8 inch or 9×9 inch deep baking pan for these butter swim biscuits.  You only need six ingredients to make these delicious biscuits........

*2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (I used cup-for-cup gluten-free flour)
*1 1/2 cups buttermilk
*½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
*4 tsp baking powder
*4 tsp granulated sugar
*1 tsp salt (I may add 2 tsps next time)

Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a bowl, mix together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 4 tsp baking powder, 4 tsp granulated sugar, and 1 tsp salt.

Add 1 ½ cups buttermilk to the dry ingredients. If you don't have buttermilk, use one 1 tbsp vinegar to each cup of milk needed - set on counter for 10 mins.  Mix  until combined but don’t over mix. The mixture will look like moist dough.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 stick (½ cup) of butter and pour into a 9×9 inch square baking pan.  Transfer the moist dough to the baking pan. Spread the dough evenly in a baking pan (it will be slightly covered with butter and it’s ok).  Cut the dough into 9 squares using a spatula or a knife. The dough squared will look like they are swimming in melted butter. 

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the baking pan from the oven and let the melted butter absorb into the biscuits.  They are so good with garlic-herb butter. Enjoy!
