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. Butter Dip Buttermilk Biscuits are the easiest homemade biscuits. No biscuit cutter needed! Thick, fluffy and buttery! Heavenly!
VIDEO INCLUDED BELOW
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.
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.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
salted butter
all-purpose flour
sugar
baking powder
salt
STEP-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.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Pour in the buttermilk.
Stir until a loose dough forms. Batter will be sticky.
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.
Slice and serve with butter!
Enjoy!

I made mine with self rising flour and without the sugar and also used milk instead of buttermilk.Turned out fantastic.Just got back from Nashville Tennesee and your biscuits are a lot better than the Loveless cafe that everybody raves about.Lady you need to go in business somewhere,you could get rich.
Hahahaa! Well that is high praise indeed! Thank you so much Terry!
Fantastic, i used formula L flour i can’t ask for better biscuits, all my family love it, thank you for the receipt
Hi Max!! So happy you loved this one! Also, it’s really good to know it came out with the southern biscuit formula L flour too!
Can I make this in a cast iron pan instead of a clear square one??
Hi Kayla, you could. You just have to watch it. The edges can sometimes get super crispy before the center gets all the way done since cast iron is such a great conductor of heat. 🙂
This seems a riff off the melted butter/chilled buttermilk drop biscuit recipe I use, but even easier. Those biscuits are good, but tender rather than flaky. How would you describe these? I am going to try them, but it never hurts to know what to expect.
Best biscuits ever. Thank you for sharing your recipe
Love hearing that Judy! So happy you loved them!!
These biscuits are DAMN good.
Ha – love it!! Thank you Rayni!
Just made these. Outside was crispy, inside was soft and buttery. Can’t wait to make them again.
Thank you so very much Maria! I really appreciate you coming back and taking the time to review!
Mine turned out great. Was scared at first because it just didn’t look right, but are they good!!!!
Yay!! Thank you so much Trey! So happy it was a success for you!
Can you double the recipe and make these in a 13 x 9 pan, and if so does anything other than cooking time need to be modified to get the same results? I’d like to make 2 double batches for a picnic but would prefer to use larger pans if possible, without compromising on the quality. Thank you –
Hi Laura! I haven’t tested it out in a 9X13 baking pan so I can’t say definitively how it would work out. But you should just be able to double the recipe and keep an eye on your baking time. You also may want to put a baking sheet under the pan just in case any butter bubbles over. Your other alternative could be to just make two 8X8 pans of this recipe.
Oh my goodness! These are amazing. Topped them with some home made sausage gravy and this girl was in heaven!! Love that it’s made with pantry staples. Will never buy Grands biscuits again. Thanks for the great recipe!
Awesome recipe! Moist and heavenly.
Heated the leftovers and placed a bacon egg bite in each – OMG, were they ever good. The next batch I make I’ll be adding garlic and Italian herbs to the butter and cheddar cheese to the dougH. This is definitely my go to recipe for tender moist EASY biscuits.
I like how you think Lynn! Ha!! Thank you so much for coming back to comment!!
Ohmygoodness! Perfect as is! Ridiculously easy and ridiculously delicious! My two teenaged sons help me cook often and they are just as excited to have found this recipe. They are already dreaming of impressing people by making these biscuits when they are older and we have made them weekly. Thank you Brandie!!!!!
Woo hoo!! That is awesome!! Thank you Kathy!!
