ALL THE BEST BUTTER SWIM BISCUIT RECIPES

Since I first shared the original Butter Swim Biscuits recipe (or Butter Dip Biscuits as they were originally called) back in February 2012, they really took on a life of their own. If you want to see my original post from back then, check it out here. I’ve come a LONG way since then! It’s such a great basic biscuit recipe that doesn’t require any biscuit making experience. You don’t need a rolling pin or even a biscuit cutter. You only need a small handful of ingredients to make good biscuits! So, if you’ve ever been intimidated by the biscuit making process or maybe you just want a good homemade biscuit and don’t have a lot of time to be fussing with the longer process of making biscuits, then these recipes are for you!
