These butter swim biscuits are literally swimming in a pool of butter prior to baking, hence the name. They're fluffy and buttery, so there's no need for extra butter at the table. Easy to make with basic pantry items. Perfect for breakfast or dinner.

  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
