Tips to Make Butter Swim Biscuits

• Use Fresh Ingredients: Make sure your baking powder is fresh to ensure the biscuits rise well.
• Don’t Overmix: Mix until just combined to keep the biscuits soft and fluffy.
• Adjust the Butter: If you want a slightly less rich flavor, you can reduce the butter slightly, but it may change the texture.

Variation

You can add herbs, cheese, or even chopped jalapeños to the dough for a twist on the classic Butter Swim Biscuits. Experiment with different flavors to find your favorite!

FAQs

1. Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
Yes, you can use regular milk, but adding a splash of vinegar or lemon juice will help create a similar tangy flavor.

2. Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
You can prepare the dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a day. When ready to bake, just pour the melted butter and bake.

3. How do I know when the biscuits are done?
The biscuits are ready when they are golden brown on top. You can also insert a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, they’re done!
