Swimming in Butter Biscuits
-
Per the request of mrobisr
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups buttermilk
1 stick butter
4 tsp baking powder
4 tsp sugar
2 tsp saltInstructions:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Combine all of the dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
Next, add the buttermilk and mix all of the ingredients together until a moist dough is formed.
Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl, and then pour it into an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish (make sure that your pan is not too small or shallow so that the butter doesn’t drip out of the pan while it’s baking).
Place the dough right on top of the melted butter and use a spatula to spread it evenly across the pan until it touches the sides.
Cut the unbaked dough (it should be swimming in butter at this point) into 9 evenish squares.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top.HerbcoFood thanks for posting, I bookmarked it so I can copy it down later.

Funny you say that because that is exactly what I thought of after making them, how easy and tasty these would be at dear/fishing camp in a dutch oven. Since mine boiled over in my cast iron 8x8 my next cook will be in a dutch oven, so yes I absolutely think they will do great in a dutch over and I can let you know when I do it.

Man-O-Man do those look awesome!
How deep of a dish should a guy use to avoid the eye burns?
I can’t wait to give this a trycongo Can’t really say at this point since this was my first try, but I plan on trying in my dutch oven, so hopefully I will have a better answer at some point.

I just got done making them
I used a 8X8 roughly 2 in deep. No problems with overflowing. Biscuits are pretty delicious
Thanks for sharing this recipe -
Those came out wonderful
-
I’m gonna have to try these with some gluten free all purpose flour. These look great!!!
