Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits
These Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits are soft, tender and loaded with ripe, juicy blueberries. These biscuits have an incredibly soft, fluffy interior with a deliciously crisp, golden brown exterior. The butter technique in these biscuits involves the biscuit batter being directly cooked in a bit of melted butter. This method creates an irresistible biscuit, that tastes almost like a cross between a biscuit and a soft blueberry muffin.
I love a good biscuit, and these butter swim biscuits have, hands down, become my favorite biscuits to make. They are so quick and easy to make, and fully customizable. These have blueberries in them, which is my personal favorite, but I could also imagine the addition of warm, melted chocolate chips or even a bit of orange zest and orange juice. Perhaps I will work on making some more flavors of these, soon!
These blueberry butter swim biscuits are almost like a cross between a biscuit and a blueberry muffin. The biscuit batter is baked in a pool of melted butter which helps create a crisp exterior, while leaving the interior incredibly tender and fluffy. It’s like the perfect mashup. I love the addition of the sweet, ripe, juicy blueberries in each bite.

Description
These Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits are soft, tender and loaded with ripe, juicy blueberries. These biscuits have an incredibly soft, fluffy interior with a deliciously crisp, golden brown exterior. The butter technique in these biscuits involves the biscuit batter being directly cooked in a bit of melted butter. This method creates an irresistible biscuit, that tastes almost like a cross between a biscuit and a soft blueberry muffin.
Ingredients
Biscuits
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 2 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3–4 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 450F.
2. In a microwave safe bowl, melt butter. Pour butter into 9×9 inch pan.
3. In a large bowl, add flour, salt, sugars and baking powder. Whisk to combine.
4. Add in the buttermilk and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until combined.
5. Fold in the blueberries.
6. Pour the biscuit batter into the 9×9 inch pan. Some of the butter will go over top of the biscuits. Spread out the batter as evenly as you can. Use a knife to cut into 9 squares. This is just to help with cutting the finished biscuits later.
7. Place the 9×9 inch pan on a rimmed baking sheet (just in case some of the butter spills over the top). Bake in preheated oven for 24-28 minutes, a toothpick inserted into the center biscuit comes out clean and the biscuits are golden brown.
8. Make the icing. In a medium size bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy cream or milk. Drizzle over top of the warm biscuits. Serve and enjoy!
