BUTTER DIP BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Did the title of this recipe get your attention? Butter. Dip. Biscuits. Hello lover. I just love biscuits. Is there anyone out there who doesn’t enjoy biscuits? Bread, of any type, speaks to our most basic of necessities. This is such an easy recipe. You don’t even have to roll out any dough or use biscuit cutters. And y’all know I’m all about easy during those busy weeknights.Easy Butter Dip Buttermilk Biscuits recipe

DO I NEED A BISCUIT CUTTER?

No biscuit cutter needed! I’ve also slightly modified it since I’ve started making these. I started using buttermilk instead of milk and I doubled the ingredients so that they come out thicker. We absolutely love them. They come out so big and fluffy. Now, you can certainly cut this recipe in half if you’d like a smaller and thinner biscuit. But big and fluffy is how I roll.Butter Dip Buttermilk Biscuits recipe from The Country Cook #easy #biscuits

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
salted butter
all-purpose flour
sugar
baking powder
salt
buttermilk (must be buttermilk, not regular milk)

All-Purpose Flour, Buttermilk, Salted Butter, Baking PowderSTEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE BUTTER DIP BISCUITS:

Preheat oven to 450F degrees.

In a microwave-safe bowl (or you can use the baking dish that you’ll be baking these in if it’s microwave-safe), melt stick of butter in the microwave. Put melted butter in an 8×8 baking dish.

Pour biscuit dough into baking dish (right on top of the melted butter.) Spread it out with the back of a spoon or a butter knife or your hand.

You won’t get it perfectly even, but hey, that’s okay, these are homemade, remember? Some of the butter will run over the top of the dough, that’s perfectly okay. Cut the dough into 9 squares. This will help with cutting later when they are done too.

 Bake for about 20-25 minutes, rotating dish once during baking.

Oven times do vary since different ovens have different hot spots, but basically biscuits should be golden brown on top and spring back to the touch.

    I made these this morning and they were delicious! The dough was a perfect texture but I could taste a little bit of flour. I am wondering if I undermixed the dough or used too much flour. Any recommendations?

    I have made these a few times and each time they get better and better! I do use regular milk and they come out great! Today I only had 1 cup of milk and I used water for the rest and man they were still delicious!! Highly recommend these!

    So delicious and so easy! Didn’t have baking powder so added a bit of vinegar and some baking soda to the mix and they came out perfect.

      Hi Lori! Yes they could. Just keep an eye on any butter overflow. Perhaps put a baking sheet underwent the baking pan in case any spills over.

    I found this recipe and I’m really excited to try it! This may be a dumb question but if I’m using unsalted butter, do I add the 1 teaspoon of salt to the melted butter or the biscuit dough?

    FYI: I LOVE biscuits and unfortunately, being gluten free, it is hard to find a good one of this type. I decided to try this recipe using Bob’s 1 to 1 baking flour-didn’t work-, they were gummy. So sad!

      Hi Sharon! This is good to know. People who are gluten-free often ask me if recipes can be covered to gluten-free and I never have an answer. You don’t really know until you try. Not every recipe can be converted so I am glad you took the time to let me know and it will help others as well. Thank you!

    No proportions, or they’re very hard to find. What kind of recipe just says as some flour and salt?

    Also, the video feature is not correlated well with the actual recipe, although once i found the correct video, I discovered it’s equally useless in figuring out how much flour to put in the biscuits. Bad presentation, bad use of SEO to push a bad product to the top.

    These are by far the best biscuits I’ve ever eaten! And so amazingly easy to make. Thank you so much for this recipe!

    I make these for my college age sons and their friends after a night of hanging out. They always love these and say “I was hoping you would make these for us”. Makes my heart swell.
