No reviews

Imagine a biscuit so tender, it practically melts on your tongue, infused with the rich, savory notes of smoked turkey breast and sharp cheddar cheese. These aren’t just any biscuits; they’re ‘butter swim’ biscuits, meaning they bake directly in a pool of melted butter, creating an impossibly crispy, golden bottom and wonderfully soft, fluffy top. Perfect for a quick breakfast, a comforting brunch, or a delightful side to any meal, these biscuits are surprisingly easy to make and guaranteed to impress with their rich flavor and unique texture. Get ready for biscuit bliss with minimal effort!

  • Total Time: 37 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup finely diced smoked turkey breast

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pour the melted butter into a 9×13 inch baking dish, ensuring it coats the bottom evenly. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt until well combined.
  3. Pour the whole milk into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spoon or spatula just until a shaggy, wet dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and diced smoked turkey breast until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Again, avoid overmixing.
  5. Carefully spoon the dough into the prepared baking dish on top of the melted butter. Use a spatula to gently spread the dough evenly across the dish. The dough will be thick and sticky.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The butter will bubble up around the edges and create a delicious crispy crust on the bottom.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool in the dish for 5-10 minutes. This allows the butter to absorb back into the biscuits and the structure to set.
  8. Once slightly cooled, use a sharp knife to cut the biscuits into squares (e.g., 2×4 for 8 biscuits). Serve warm and enjoy the buttery, savory goodness!

Notes

For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle a pinch of dried chives or garlic powder into the dry ingredients. These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerated for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or a low oven.
