I first discovered Butter Swim Biscuits at a family gathering a few years ago, and I was immediately smitten. My cousin had brought a batch, and as soon as I took a bite, I knew I had to get the recipe. The biscuits were tender and fluffy, with a rich, buttery flavor that was simply irresistible.

Recipe: Butter Swim Biscuits
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 cup milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with a bit of the melted butter.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the milk to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour; if it's too dry, add a bit more milk.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few turns until it comes together. Pat the dough into a rectangle, about 1 inch thick.
5. Cut the dough into 9 equal squares and place them in the prepared baking dish. Pour the melted butter over the top of the biscuits, making sure each one is coated.

6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
