Butter Swim Biscuits

Jump to Recipe

I am not much of a baker – the science and exactness of it always throws me off. I like to be able to add a pinch of this or a dash of that. You can’t exactly do that when it comes to baking. You need just the right mix to give you the right result. These biscuits are the easiest to make! Butter Swim Biscuits are flaky, buttery goodness! Your family is going to be so thrilled when you make these delicious biscuits.

Butter Swim Biscuits

By cooking the biscuits in the butter, you get the most delicious flavor in the biscuits. It makes them perfect on their own and makes them stout enough to hold up to a delicious gravy (like my Chicken Gravy & Biscuits).

Butter Swim Biscuits

Another reason I love these biscuits is because I pretty much always have all the ingredients on hand at any given time. There are no special ingredients – just your basic kitchen staples. Be sure to actually “cut” the raw dough before placing it in the oven – this will make serving it up a snap!

  1. Rebecca - Glutarama – United Kingdom – Here at Glutarama, I primarily write about gluten free and free from. However, as the name indicates, Life’s a drama, gluten free doesn’t have to be, therefore, we’re so much more than free from. Our family are affected by; Type 1 Diabetes Autism Spectrum Mental Health (adult and child) Food Intolerance Coeliac Disease This diverse range of topics allows me to reach a far wider audience as many of the topics tend to overlap and intertwine one another. In my past life I worked in school and for local government, giving talks, organising high brow and informal events. I have media experience and love to write on topics that touch my heart and inspire me.

  3. Liz @ spades, spatulas, and spoons – Oakland, CA – I live in Northern California of the USA, splitting my time between our home and large garden on the coast in Fort Bragg and a smaller place outside San Francisco. I have always love spending time in the kitchen, sharing meals with family and friends. My English born mother was educated in France and ran one of the first traditional French cooking schools in Florida, I learned by being her sous chef and eventually teaching classes with her. Three years ago I was proud to earn my certificate as a Mendocino County Master Gardener, although I had already been gardening in Oakland (ornamental and veggies) for 25 years. There is always so much to learn. I am starting the garden in Fort Bragg and am looking forward to sharing my progress. My family on both sides have always gardened. I have fond memories of my grandparent's garden outside London; and digging potatoes with my father in his vegetable garden in Florida. My education is in microbiology; I worked in labs and biotech for 25 years, often traveling extensively for work. But even with a busy schedule I have managed to have a few of my own fresh vegetables in the back garden. Welcome and thank you for coming along.
