Butter Swim Biscuits

Here’s what you need to whip up a batch of these delicious Butter Swim Biscuits:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Follow these simple steps to make your Butter Swim Biscuits:

• Step 1: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
• Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
• Step 3: Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Step 4: Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
• Step 5: In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, pour the melted butter, swirling it to coat the bottom evenly.
• Step 6: Spoon the biscuit batter over the melted butter (do not stir!).
• Step 7: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
• Step 8: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
