Strawberry Butter Swim Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 0.75 teaspoons kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 cups whole buttermilk
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups fresh strawberries
• 0.5 cups confectioners sugar
• 1 tablespoon buttermilk

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (235 degrees C).

2. 2

   Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl; pour in 2 cups of the buttermilk and 3 tablespoons melted butter. Stir until almost fully combined but some dry streaks remain, about 30 seconds.

3. 3

   Gently fold in strawberries until evenly combined.

4. 4

   Pour remaining 5 tablespoons melted butter into an 8-inch square baking dish; swirl the dish to evenly coat bottom and sides. Transfer dough to the prepared baking dish and gently spread into an even layer; cut biscuits into 9 even squares.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Checking after 20 minutes and tent with foil if biscuits are browning too quickly.

6. 6

   Remove from the oven and let rest in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk confectioner's sugar and 1 tablespoon buttermilk together in a small bowl until combined. Drizzle evenly over warm biscuits, slice, and serve while warm.
