\u00a0Butter Swim Biscuits (Easy, Fluffy & Buttery)<\/h2>\n

Butter Swim Biscuits are one of the easiest homemade biscuits<\/strong> you can make. They are soft on the inside, golden and slightly crispy on the outside, and packed with rich buttery flavor.
\nWhat makes this recipe special is that the biscuit dough is poured directly into melted butter<\/strong>, allowing the biscuits to literally \u201cswim\u201d<\/em> in butter while baking. This technique creates incredibly tender biscuits without kneading or rolling.<\/p>\n

These biscuits are perfect for breakfast, brunch, dinner, or as a side dish<\/strong>, and they come together in less than 30 minutes using simple pantry ingredients.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Prep Time & Yield<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Prep time:<\/strong> 10 minutes<\/li>\n
  • Bake time:<\/strong> 20\u201325 minutes<\/li>\n
  • Total time:<\/strong> ~30 minutes<\/li>\n
  • Servings:<\/strong> 6\u20138 biscuits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \u00a0Ingredients<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour<\/li>\n
    • 1 tablespoon sugar<\/li>\n
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder<\/li>\n
    • 1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n
    • 1 cup milk (room temperature)<\/li>\n
    • 1\/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (about 115 g)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Tip:<\/em>
      \nFor savory biscuits, reduce or omit the sugar.<\/p>\n

      \u00a0Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n

      \u00a0Step 1: Preheat the Oven<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Preheat your oven to 425\u00b0F (220\u00b0C)<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Use an 8×8 inch baking dish<\/strong> or a similar square\/rectangular pan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \u00a0Step 2: Melt the Butter<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Melt the butter completely<\/li>\n
        • Pour the melted butter directly into the baking dish
          \nDo not<\/strong> grease the pan or line it with parchment paper \u2014 the butter is enough<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \u00a0Step 3: Make the Dough<\/h3>\n

          In a large mixing bowl:<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Add the flour<\/li>\n
          2. Add sugar<\/li>\n
          3. Add salt<\/li>\n
          4. Add baking powder<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Whisk everything together until well combined.<\/p>\n

            Slowly pour in the milk and stir using a spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms.<\/p>\n

            The dough should be:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Thick and slightly sticky<\/li>\n
            • Not runny<\/li>\n
            • Not dry or stiff<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Do not<\/strong> overmix.<\/p>\n

              \u00a0Step 4: Assemble<\/h3>\n
                \n
              • Carefully pour the biscuit dough directly over the melted butter<\/strong><\/li>\n
              • Do not stir<\/strong>
                \nThe butter will naturally rise around the dough while baking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                \u00a0Step 5: Cut the Biscuits<\/h3>\n
                  \n
                • Use a knife to cut the dough into squares or rectangles while still raw
                  \nThis helps the biscuits separate easily after baking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  \u00a0Baking<\/h2>\n
                    \n
                  • Place the dish in the oven<\/li>\n
                  • Bake for 20\u201325 minutes<\/strong><\/li>\n
                  • The top should be golden brown and set<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil and continue baking for a few more minutes.<\/p>\n

                    \u00a0Final Result<\/h2>\n
                      \n
                    • Crispy, buttery edges<\/li>\n
                    • Soft, fluffy center<\/li>\n
                    • Rich buttery flavor in every bite<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      These biscuits pull apart easily and smell amazing right out of the oven<\/p>\n

                      \u00a0Variations & Add-Ins<\/h2>\n

                      \u00a0Savory Options<\/h3>\n
                        \n
                      • Add 1\/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan)<\/li>\n
                      • Add garlic powder or minced garlic<\/li>\n

                          \u00a0Tips for Success<\/h2>\n
                            \n
