Butter Swim Biscuits – Classic Recipe

Ingredients (makes ~9 biscuits):

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted in the baking dish
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or 2 teaspoons kosher salt)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (or 1¾ cups) buttermilk

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 450 °F (230 °C).
  2. Place the butter in an 8×8- or 9×9-inch square baking dish and let it melt while the oven heats .
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar .
  4. Stir in the buttermilk just until combined—the batter will be wet .
  5. Remove the dish from the oven, pour the batter into the melted butter, and gently spread it to fill the pan .
  6. Use a bench scraper or knife to cut the unbaked dough into 9 squares (3×3 layout) .
  7. Bake for about 20–25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the edges pull away slightly from the pan .
  8. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving, to allow the biscuits to absorb the butter .

Quick Comparison from Sources:

  • Allrecipes / Dotdash: Simple 5-ingredient method—batter over melted butter, bake at 450 °F for 20–25 mins .
  • Simply Recipes: Includes baking soda for extra lift, uses similar process and ingredient amounts .
  • 12 Tomatoes & Paula Deen: Closely align on ingredients; Paula Deen version lists sugar as 4 tsp and salt 2 tsp .

Variations:

  • Serious Eats recommends using soft-wheat flour (like White Lily), grating half the butter cold into the flour, then melting the rest in the pan for exceptional flakiness .
  • Websites like Grandbaby Cakes and others offer sweet or savory add-ins—blueberries, cheese, lemon zest, or bacon—to customize your version .
