Butter Dip Biscuits Aka Butter Swim Biscuits Recipes

BUTTER DIP BISCUITS (A.K.A. BUTTER SWIM BISCUITS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450F degrees. Spray a glass or ceramic 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray (I like the kind with flour in it).
• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt stick of butter in the microwave. Pour melted butter into prepared baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
• Pour in the buttermilk. Stir until a sticky batter forms. If batter still seems too dry add a tad bit more buttermilk until the batter is thick and sticky.
• Pour biscuit dough into baking dish (right on top of the melted butter.) Some of the butter will run over the top of the dough. Tip: I will spray my hand with some nonstick spray to help spread the dough out evenly in the pan.
• Cut the dough into 9 squares (as best you can). This will help with cutting later when the biscuits are baked.
• Bake (on the middle oven rack) for about 25-30 minutes, rotating dish once during baking.
• Oven times DO VARY since different ovens have different hot spots, but basically biscuits should be golden brown on top and spring back to the touch. Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean with no batter, they are done!

• Place butter in an 8x8-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir butter and keep microwaving at 20-second intervals until butter is fully melted.
• Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a bowl. Add buttermilk and stir until combined. Pour over melted butter and spread over the melted butter. Use a bench scraper to cut dough into 9 equal pieces.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuit tops start to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and kosher salt in a large bowl and whisk together. Pour in the buttermilk and use a wooden spoon to stir into a thick dough without overworking it -- some dry spots are ok.
• Pour the butter into an 8-by-8-inch baking pan. Scrape the dough into the pan and spread to the edges. Use a butter knife to slice the dough into 9 equal squares. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Remove from the oven and drizzle the honey over the top. Sprinkle with sea salt and let cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving with butter and jam.
