3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfect Butter Swimming Biscuits

Preparing the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits airy and light.

Shaping and Baking the Biscuits

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle and cut into round biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a floured glass. Place the biscuits onto a greased baking sheet. Pour melted butter generously over each biscuit to create the signature butter swim effect.

Baking to Golden Perfection

Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. For faster baking, you might want to use the Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast 4-in-1, which provides excellent heat circulation for perfectly crispy biscuits.

4. Tips for Making the Best Butter Swim Biscuits

• Use cold butter to achieve flaky layers.
• Handle the dough gently to keep it light and airy.
• Pour the melted butter evenly to ensure each biscuit is perfectly infused.
• Serve fresh out of the oven for the best taste and texture.

5. How to Store and Reheat Your Breakfast Biscuits
