Garlic Butter Swim Biscuits
These easy biscuits are baked swimming in garlic butter. Soft and fluffy on the inside with an amazingly crispy crust, they're sure to become a favorite!
Servings: 9 pieces
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter melted
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder (see Notes below)
- 2 tsp. dried parsley divided
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 4 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 3/4 c. buttermilk (see Notes below)
Instructions
- Mix garlic powder and 1 tsp. dried parsley into the melted butter. Pour into an ungreased 8x8 or 9x9 glass baking dish.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1 tsp. dried parsley.
- Add buttermilk and stir until a thick batter is formed.
- Pour batter into baking dish, on top of the butter. Spread evenly. It's okay if some of the butter gets on top of the batter.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 9 squares.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. When finished, the top of the bread should be lightly browned.
- Allow to cool slightly before eating.
Notes
Garlic Powder Alternative: can substitute with 1 tsp. granulated garlic
Buttermilk Alternative: You can make your own buttermilk by mixing 2 tbsp. white vinegar with 1 ¾ cup regular milk. This makes the dough slightly less thick, but the biscuits are still delicious!
Reheating: These are best when warm. You can reheat any leftovers in the oven or microwave.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
Freezing: Can be frozen for up to 1 month. Before freezing, wrap completely cooled biscuits in plastic wrap or foil, then place in a freezer-safe bag. Allow to thaw completely before eating.
