Butter Swim Biscuits (No Buttermilk)
Easy butter swim biscuits are soft and tender on the inside with crispy, buttery edges. You only need six simple ingredients (no buttermilk needed) and 30 minutes for these delicious homemade biscuits!
Yield: 9 biscuits
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, spooned & leveled
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 3/4 cups milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Place stick of butter in microwave safe dish and microwave until fully melted. Pour melted butter into 9×9 baking dish and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Add milk to dry ingredients and stir until just combined, with no pockets of dry flour remaining. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour biscuit dough into the pan over the melted butter. Use a spoon or spatula to gently spread batter evenly into the corners. Do not stir the batter into the butter.
- Use a knife to gently cut the dough into 9 squares. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or just until biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted between biscuits comes out clean.
- Let biscuits rest for at least 5 minutes to absorb all the butter before serving. Enjoy!
