These biscuits are literally swimming in butter prior to baking, hence the name. No need to butter them since they are buttery and fluffy. Perfect for breakfast or for dinner. Great use of pantry items during this stay-at-home order during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Butter Swim Biscuits

unsalted butter

all-purpose flour

baking powder

white sugar

salt

buttermilk

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).


Place butter in an 8x8-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir butter and keep microwaving at 20-second intervals until butter is fully melted.


Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a bowl. Add buttermilk and stir until combined. Pour over melted butter and spread over the melted butter. Use a bench scraper to cut dough into 9 equal pieces.


Bake in the preheated oven until biscuit tops start to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.


I (82 year old male) followed this recipe as printed, and turned out exactly as pictured.
My first time at biscuits and the flavor is sooo good.  PERFECT
I split the first one and place a chunk of cheddar cheese in between that melted.  OMG. 
Thanks for this easy & flavorful recipe.

I just submitted a review--they were fabulous!

Definitely buttery and flavorful. My wife thinks I’ve stumbled onto something here.  Easy to make. Didn’t have a sifter, but it came out great!!

Loved the recipe. Followed it almost exactly the first time except at 425 which works better at our altitude of 5000' and it was delicious. Wanted to see how it would be in a cast iron frying pan, 10" with butter melted on stove top and pan warmed up. It was terrific with a great crusty bottom. Again at 425 rather than the 450 called for. 
5 stars both times.

We loved these. They couldn't have been any easier to make and very short time from start to finish. Can't wait to try these with sausage gravy.

Awesome, pared with country sausage gravy! 1st time making biscuits. It was an easy recipe to following. Couple notes to remember....1. Its sticky dough so it won't pour out of the bowl, scrape and spread...I used a spatula. 2. When taken out of oven, let the biscuits rest 5 minutes after to allow butter to absorb. Deliciously buttery!

WOW!!!! These biscuits were amazing.  I need to double the recipe net time. I had a thought and I drizzled a little honey over the top. I swear to goodness they taste just like the biscuits  from Willie's Chicken in NOLA. Yummmy!!

I do not want to be rude but these were awful. 
I will not make these again. They were gooey and tasted “undone” after 30 minutes in a 450* oven.

I baked it on convection for 29 minutes. 
So FLUFFY and Very Yummy. 
Sorry, I still put butter on my Piece:)
I've made it two days  in a row for family and will definitely be making it many more times:)
