butter biscuits

This Southern butter biscuits recipe was handed down to me by my mom. Great all by themselves with extra butter or with jam, honey, molasses, or gravy.

Southern Butter Biscuits

all-purpose flour

Tbsp baking powder

salt

milk ((regular

Preheat oven to 400 F.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.&nbsp; Add butter in smallish pieces.&nbsp;

With your hands (or a pastry blender), combine flour mixture and butter until butter is pea sized and mixture is crumbly.

Pour in milk and combine with a wooden spoon until well incorporated, taking care not to over mix.

Turn out onto a floured surface and roll out dough to about 3/4 inch thick.&nbsp;

Cut out biscuits with biscuit cutter or cookie cutter.  Add each to ungreased cookie sheet or iron skillet.  Make sure that biscuits touch for higher rise during baking.

Bake for 10 minutes or until browned.

Delightfully light and flaky biscuits don’t have to be a weekend-only treat.

With just 10 minutes of prep time and less than 10 minutes to bake, this recipe is so simple that you might want to make a second batch of these classic butter biscuits to serve at the dinner table. Plus, if you’re looking to save even more time, you can skip the kneading step and make simple drop biscuits instead.

Cut firm butter into 1/4-inch pieces. Toss Bisquick mix and butter pieces with fork until coated. Add milk; stir just until milk is absorbed (do not overstir). 

Turn dough onto surface dusted with Bisquick mix. Knead 5 times. Pat to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with 3-inch cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheet with sides touching for soft sides or 2 inches apart for crispy sides. 

Bake about 9 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter.

Baked golden in butter, these heavenly Butter Swim Biscuits are soft and moist with crispy edges. The ultimate buttermilk biscuit recipe!

Butter Swim Biscuits

salted butter,

all purpose flour

baking powder

sugar

buttermilk

Place 1/2 cup butter in a 9&#215;9 pan. Turn the oven to preheat to 450°F. Place the pan in the oven as it preheats allowing the butter to melt and the pan to heat up. *see note

In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Add in the buttermilk and using a wooden spoon, stir together to combine. A sticky dough will form.

Remove the pan from the oven when the butter has melted and spread the dough on top of the melted butter in the pan. Use the spoon or a spatula to evenly spread the dough out to the sides of the pan. Cover the top of the batter with additional melted butter, this helps the top bake up golden.

Using a knife cut the raw dough into 9 biscuits before baking. Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 18 &#8211; 20 minutes until golden brown.

Small Batch Butter Swim Biscuits

butter (, melted (½ stick))

baking soda

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a medium-sized bowl.

Pour in the buttermilk and stir until combined. Be careful not to overwork the batter.

Pour the melted butter into a 5x5-inch baking dish.

Place the dough on top of the butter and use a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon to evenly spread the dough out to the edges of the baking dish. Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any possible spills.

Cut the unbaked dough into 4 squares.

Bake for 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Let the biscuits rest in the pan for at least 10 minutes so that the butter can be absorbed into the biscuits before cutting.

Flaky, fluffy, buttery homemade biscuits with melty cheese and tender scallions baked throughout.

Cheddar-Scallion Biscuits

all-purpose flour,

garlic powder

cheddar cheese

scallions (about 3 small scallions)

egg egg

Heat oven to 425°F. Let butter thaw briefly if it&#8217;s fully frozen, about 5-10 minutes. In large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and garlic powder. Use the largest holes on a box grater to grate the butter into the flour mixture. Use fingers to toss the butter into the flour until all the butter shreds are just coated. Add the cheese and scallions and toss with fingers again to combine.

Add 3/4 cup buttermilk to flour-butter mixture, stirring with wooden spoon or spatula gently just until dough comes together. If needed, use remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk to moisten any dry bits that won&#8217;t adhere to the dough. The dough should hold together and not be crumbly, but also not wet or sticky.

Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface. Very gently pat dough into 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Fold bottom third of dough up and top third of dough down over bottom third, as if folding a letter. Gently pat down into 1/2-inch rectangle again, then fold again like a letter. Pat and fold one final time, then pat dough out to 1-inch thick.

Use floured biscuit cutter to cut dough into rounds, being careful not to twist biscuit cutter when removing the rounds (alternatively, you can cut the dough into squares with a knife if you don&#8217;t have a biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter). Gather dough scraps and gently pat into 1-inch thick mass, then cut again to use up all the dough.

Place rounds, sides gently touching, on baking sheet or in cast-iron skillet. Brush egg wash over biscuits. Bake 13-15 minutes until golden brown on top.

Wow! These were so tasty! I didn't have buttermilk on hand, so I made it by adding a tablespoon of vinegar to my milk. I was worried they wouldn't work out, but they were soooo good!  My hubby couldn't get enough.   Great recipe!

Just made this for breakfast. My husband’s response after eating was “Damn, don’t lose this recipe!” Haha. I didn’t have green onions so used chives from the garden and it was perfect. 

Yummm and so easy. Didn’t do the egg wash and they seemed fine without

Was craving cheese and onion biscuits and found this recipe.  Fantastic!!  They actually turned out like the picture!  Absolutely delicious.  Followed the recipe and got a fluffy, high rise result.  My daughter and I loved them.  Definitely make-again!
