Butter Lovers Biscuits

Butter Dip Biscuits. This is buttery baked deliciousness at a whole other level.

It’s no secret that I’m a lover of all things bread, biscuits & butter. I love them all and will never be able to choose a favorite – but these biscuits are unique and extra special. The bottom layer (which will be served as the top) absorbs the butter while baking.  

When you bite into this biscuit you’ll immediately fall in love with that almost crisp layer of melt in your mouth buttery goodness. Sooooo good! I’ll warn you, you might never want to go back to buttering a regular old biscuit after trying these Butter Dip Biscuits.

Ingredients & Instructions

I’ll start by making a quick comment on baking powder. It’s important. After baking powder is opened, it has a six month shelf life. After six months, throw it away. Seriously. It’s really not worth ending up with a batch of flat biscuits (or any other baked good for that matter).  

To make life easier, most baking powder lids have a convenient “use by date” that you can fill in after you’ve opened it.  Jot down the date and prevent a potential – but easily avoidable – flop.

I mention this for one reason. I’ve had this recipe posted for a few years on a recipe sharing site. Most people reviewed it with 4-5 stars commenting that they loved it. Awesome! Then there were one or two reviews stating that “This recipe ______(fill in the blank lol) and that the biscuits were hard and flat as a rock”. How’s that possible? Easy. Old baking powder with no more leavening power. Hopefully we all learned a lesson here today 🙂

To make the biscuits, start by melting the butter in your baking dish. Whisk together the dry ingredients, stir in milk & then drop the biscuits into the melted butter baking dish.

When you take them out of the oven, you’ll notice there’s still some butter in the dish. I gently slide the biscuits back & forth once or twice and then let them sit for a few minutes to absorb the remaining butter.

Hope you enjoy!

Servings 12 biscuits

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1/2 cup – salted butter 1 stick
• 2 1/4 cup – flour
• 1 tablespoon – sugar
• 3 1/2 teaspoon – baking powder
• 1 teaspoon – salt heaping
• 1 1/4 cup – milk

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 350°
• Melt butter in a clear glass 13″ x 9″ baking dish (in oven)
• In a mixing bowl – whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
• Add milk – stir until thoroughly combined.
• Once butter is melted – drop 12 heaping tablespoons of dough on top of butter. It will be a tight fit – biscuits will touch each other. I do 2 rows of 6.
• Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until tops are a light golden brown. I take a peak at the bottom to make sure the butter part is not getting too brown.
• Remove from oven. Gently slide the biscuits back & forth once and let biscuits sit for a few minutes to absorb any remaining butter.
• Serve biscuit buttery side up – upside down. Enjoy : )
