Martha White Butter Swim Biscuits Recipe
This Martha White Butter Swim Biscuits Recipe is soft, fluffy and full of buttery flavor. These biscuits are baked in melted butter, which makes them golden and rich.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
Instructions
Prepare the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). This high temperature helps biscuits rise quickly and gives a golden crust. Make sure oven is fully heated before baking.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- Take a large bowl and add flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Mix well using a spoon. This ensures even distribution of ingredients.
Add Buttermilk
- Pour buttermilk into the dry mixture. Stir gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix, as it can make biscuits dense.
Melt the Butter
- Melt butter in a microwave or pan. Pour it into your baking dish. Make sure butter covers the entire bottom of the dish.
Add Dough to Dish
- Place the biscuit dough into the baking dish over the melted butter. Spread it evenly using a spatula so it fills the pan.
Cut Before Baking
- Use a knife to cut the dough into squares. This makes it easy to separate biscuits after baking.
Bake the Biscuits
- Place the dish in the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until top is golden brown and edges are crispy.
Cool and Serve
- Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy the buttery flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh baking powder for better rise
- Do not overmix the dough
- Use full-fat buttermilk for richer taste
- Bake in a preheated oven
- Spread dough evenly for even cooking
- Serve warm for best flavor
