Cooking Thursday

Today's recipe for biscuits is one I've seen people talking about online but had never tried it.  However, we had friends coming for Easter Dinner right after church.  In looking for food I could make ahead of time, these popped up again and I made them.  The name is intriguing, but they weren't at all greasy, were tender and very tasty. You can whip them up in no time at all!



Butter Swim Biscuits

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Place stick of butter in 8x8 glass pan and melt butter.
Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.  Stir in buttermilk until combined; be careful not to overmix.
Spoon batter over melted butter in pan. Spread to sides as best you can.
Cut the unbaked dough into 9 squares (3x3).
Bake for 28 minutes or until top is golden.
Allow to rest for about 10 minutes before serving.  You can make these ahead of time, just let them cool completely, then cover tightly. Heat for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

They look and sound so good. I'm just not a baker. Interesting idea though to do biscuits in a casserole dish. Wonder who thought of that, must surely save lots of time in the making. Happy belated Easter.

Love the flavor of buttermilk and it does seem easy to do in the 8x8 pan. I'm all about easy and " butter" is on my food group list.. things go better with butter.

This sounds like a wonderfully comforting recipe—simple, honest, and perfect for a gathering after church. There's something special about sharing warm, homemade biscuits at the table with friends. Thank you for sharing it. I can almost smell the butter from here.

I've seen these before too and always wondered if they'd be too greasy too! So good to know that they turn out that great. They sure sound yummy. :)

How funny, I make the same thing but changed to the use of heavy cream instead of buttermilk! Very delicious! I like Miss Merry's comment above - "Butter is my favorite food group." Made me LOL!
