The Secret to Their Softness
Advertisement
The key to the irresistibly soft texture of Butter Swim Biscuits lies in the combination of cold butter and buttermilk. When the cold butter melts in the oven, it creates pockets of steam that puff up the biscuits, resulting in a light and airy interior.
Tips for Perfect Biscuits
- Use cold ingredients: Keep your butter and buttermilk cold for flakier biscuits.
- Don’t overwork the dough: Mix until just combined to avoid tough biscuits.
- Nestle the biscuits close together: This helps them rise evenly and prevents them from spreading too much.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Butter Swim Biscuits warm with a dollop of butter and a drizzle of honey for a classic treat. They also pair perfectly with savory dishes like fried chicken or sausage gravy.
