Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 oz (115 g) butter (Salted | Melted)
- 10.95 oz (310 g) all-purpose flour
- 4 tsp (16 g) baking powder
- 2 Tbsp (25 g) sugar
- 1/2 tsp (3 g) sea salt
- 16.95 oz (480 g) Buttermilk (At Room Temperature)
Instructions
- Place your Medium Round Mold on the top of your Medium Perforated Baking Sheet. Set Aside.
- Preheat oven to 425F/220C.
BUTTER SWIM BISCUITS PREPARATION
- Once your oven is preheated, place butter directly in your Medium Round Mold and let it melt in the oven while preparing your biscuit dough.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients (All-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar and sea salt). Make a well and add the buttermilk. Mix until it is all incorporated. NOTE: The dough is very sticky, that's normal.
- Carefully take your mold out of the oven and scoop your biscuit dough on top of the melted butter by spreading it into the edges as best as you can. Use your spatula to cut the dough into 8 triangles. NOTE: This will allow the melted butter to run through where your spatula went. Cover with your Square Bonmat in order for your biscuits to not overly brown.
BAKE!
- Bake for 30 minutes at 425F/220C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your biscuits from 25 minutes). It is ready when the biscuits are golden brown.
- Once your Southern Butter Swim Biscuits are out of the oven, remove the Bonmat right away and let it cool down in the mold. I like mine still warm with a bit of honey on top. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!

l Martine - "J’étais curieuse de voir ce que pouvait donner cette recette très atypique. Et bien, les deux et troisième fois, il m’a donné l’impression à l’extérieur de manger un kouign amann mais vraiment juste à l’extérieur car à l’intérieur, il est très minimaliste. D’ailleurs, il contraste vraiment avec l’idée qu’on se fait des gâteaux américains. La troisième fois, j’ai doublé la dose de sucre et j’avoue l’avoir préféré." (March 2024)
