Ah! “Butter Swim Biscuits” sounds like a Southern-style rich, buttery biscuit, likely soft, flaky, and perfect for breakfast or alongside savory dishes. Sometimes these are also called “buttery drop biscuits” because they melt in your mouth—hence the playful “swim” in butter.
🥞 Butter Swim Biscuits
🍽 Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter (cubed)
- 3/4 cup milk (or buttermilk for tang)
👩🍳 Simple Recipe
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in milk until just combined—don’t overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet.
- Bake 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve warm, ideally with more butter or jam.
🔥 Tips
- Use cold butter for flaky layers.
- Don’t overwork the dough—keeps biscuits tender.
- Optional: brush tops with melted butter right after baking for extra richness.
If you want, I can also give you:
- Cheesy version (add shredded cheddar)
- Garlic-herb version for savory meals
- Or a Southern-style party batch that makes them extra buttery and soft
