What Are Butter Swim Biscuits?

They are unique but also so easy to make! Made by pouring the dough into a pan with melted butter. So the dough swims in the butter. It soaks it right up, and you have a great biscuit! This takes a lot of the work out of it, and anyone can make these. No rolling the dough out and no kneading. Super easy.

Do You Have to Use Buttermilk?

No, you don’t have to but we love buttermilk in our butter swim biscuits. It will work fine with regular milk too, but the buttermilk does add extra flavor and tenderness to the biscuit.
