Savory Beef and Cheese Butter Swim Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked beef, chopped or shredded
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar)
- 0 none Fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley), for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or a large cast-iron skillet.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked beef until evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter and buttermilk, stirring well.
- Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
- Spoon the dough into the prepared baking dish or skillet, ensuring it is spread evenly across the bottom and mounding slightly in the center.
- Drizzle any remaining melted butter over the top of the dough.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares or wedges.
- Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
💡 Chef's Notes
Serve warm straight from the skillet or baking dish. Drizzle extra melted butter over the biscuits before serving for added richness.
