Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. - Cut in the Butter:
In a large mixing bowl, cut the cold butter into small cubes. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. - Combine Dry Ingredients:
Add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to the bowl with the butter. Stir gently until combined. - Add Buttermilk:
Pour in the buttermilk and stir until the dough just comes together. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable. - Form Biscuits:
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. - Cut Out Biscuits:
Using a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any remaining dough, gently pat it out again, and cut out more biscuits. - Butter Bath:
Melt the remaining butter and pour it over the tops of the biscuits. - Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top. - Serve Warm:
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with additional butter, jam, or gravy.
Enjoy these delicious and fluffy butter swim biscuits!
