Ingredients in Butter Swim Biscuits
You probably have just about everything that you need to make these delicious biscuits! See the recipe card below for a list of exact measurements.
Flour: I used all purpose flour and it worked great in this recipe! Baking powder: This is what will help the biscuits rise and be fluffy.Salt: The salt will help enhance the flavor of the biscuits. Granulated sugar: I like to use a little bit of sure to sweeten them up just a touch. Buttermilk: You can use store bought buttermilk or make this homemade buttermilk. It’s super easy! Butter: I prefer to use unsalted butter so that I don’t have to change the amount of salt in the recipe.
Let’s Make Some Biscuits!
These swim butter biscuits only take a few minutes to put together! You will be drizzling honey and eating them before you know it!
Melting the butter: Watch your butter closely when you are melting it. You don’t want it to be so hot that it boils. Just melted enough that you can pour it into the pan! Don’t open the oven door: I know that it’s tempting to open the oven door while you are baking your biscuits. After all, you just want to see how they are doing! But when you open the door while you are baking, you let a lot of the heat out. This makes it so that they can bake unevenly. Keep the door closed and then just use the oven light! Don’t overmix: When you over mix or set your mixer to mix on high then you add more air to your batter! It can get rubbery if overmixed. So use room temperature ingredients so that you don’t have to mix so many lumps and do it on a lower speed!
Refrigerator: Once they are cooled then place them in an airtight container. Put them in the fridge and they can last for 4-5 days! Reheat: To warm them back up, simply warm them in the oven at the lowest temperature. This usually takes about 10 minutes! Or, you can pop them in the microwave on high for about 30 seconds to a minute or until they are warmed through!
