Directions for Breakfast Butter Swim Biscuits

Let’s make these Breakfast Butter Swim Biscuits—irresistible Fluffy Buttery Biscuits!

Preheat and Prep

I preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). I pour ½ cup melted butter into an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.

Mix the Dough

In a large bowl, I whisk 2 ½ cups flour, 2 tbsp sugar, 4 tsp baking powder, and 2 tsp salt. I pour in 2 cups cold buttermilk and stir until just combined, keeping the dough sticky for Fluffy Buttery Biscuits.

Spread and Score

I transfer the dough to the prepared dish, spreading it evenly over the butter with a spatula. I score the dough into 9 equal squares using a knife for easy separation after baking.

Bake and Finish

I bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. I brush with 1 tbsp melted butter (optional) for extra shine, then serve warm.
