Description
You need to try this, the name “butter swim biscuits” got me, and I thought, why not, give it a go?
I am so glad I did. Obviously, as per my nature, I had to modify it, so I tested it with Gluten-Free flour, and it worked well! I also added bacon bits to give it a savory spin!
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup salted butter (1 stick)
- 2 1/2 cups GF all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
- 1/2 cup of bacon bits
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F / 230C degrees.
- Use a glass 8×8-inch baking dish and spray with any non-stick cooking spray.
- Melt the butter in the microwave (30 seconds should be more than enough) and then pour the melted butter into the baking dish.
- Now mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, then pour over the dry mixture with the buttermilk and mix in the bacon bits.
- Stir with a wooden spoon until you have a thick and sticky batter.
- Spoon the dough directly on top of the melted butter.
- Not to worry if some of the butter ooze out and run over the dough.
- Slightly flatten the top of the dough with a damp spatula, or if you wish oily hands.
- Use the damp spatula and cut the dough into 9 squares (or as many of you prefer) as this be useful when cutting it once baked.
- Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes at 450F / 230C degree.
- Make sure to check your baking as your oven may vary.
- The top of your biscuits should be a nice golden brown and when you insert a cake tester or toothpick into the center it should come out clean with no batter.
- Voila, you’re done.
- Take it out of the oven, let it cool, and enjoy!
