Butter Swim Biscuits Easy Recipes You’ll Want Every Weekend
Ever had a biscuit so fluffy it nearly floats off your plate? That’s what we’re working with here. These butter swim biscuits are what weekend mornings were made for. They’re golden on the outside, steamy and tender on the inside, and you don’t even have to break a sweat to make ’em.
I started making these on lazy Sundays when I didn’t feel like hauling out a mixer or dealing with cold butter cubes. Just stir, pour, bake, and you’ve got biscuits that make you feel like a Southern grandma—minus the apron and 6 a.m. wake-up call. If your idea of breakfast bliss includes something warm, buttery, and comforting, you’ve landed in the right kitchen.
Perfect with a smear of jam, a drizzle of honey, or straight outta the pan. Let’s just say they’re less about formality, and more about feeding your biscuit cravings fast. Oh, and they go *shockingly* well with eggs and bacon. Let’s bake!
Servings: 9 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
