How To Make Butter Swim Biscuits

1. Preheat Oven & Melt Butter: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Melt the 1 stick of butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour the melted butter into an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish.
2. Mix the Dough: In a medium-sized bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: the 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons of baking powder, 4 teaspoons of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of salt. Next, add the 2 cups of buttermilk and mix everything together until a moist, sticky dough is formed.
3. Assemble & Cut: Place the dough directly on top of the melted butter in the baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the dough evenly across the pan until it touches the sides. Cut the unbaked dough into 9 even squares.
4. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
5. Serve: Serve the biscuits warm. They are a perfect companion to any meal and are excellent with butter, jam, or as a side for dinner.
