- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Baking Dish:
- Grease a baking dish (approximately 9×13 inches) with a bit of melted butter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add Buttermilk:
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
- Form Biscuits:
- Drop large spoonfuls of dough into the greased baking dish, creating about 12 biscuits.
- Butter Bath:
- Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the biscuits in the baking dish. This is the “butter swim.”
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Optional: Brush with Butter:
- If desired, you can brush the baked biscuits with additional melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
- Serve:
- Serve the Butter Swim Biscuits warm.
These biscuits are known for their soft and buttery texture, and the “butter swim” ensures that they are infused with rich flavor. Enjoy them as a side with meals or as a delicious breakfast option.
