Servings: 9
Equipment
- 8x8 Square Baking Dish
- Medium Bowl
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter sliced, (1 stick)
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp coarse salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp dry thyme or 1 sprig fresh thyme, finely chopped
- ¼ tsp Italian seasoning
- ⅛ tsp red pepper flakes
- 4 large basil leaves chopped
- ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil drained and finely chopped
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place butter into an 8x8-square baking dish. Transfer to the hot oven until melted, about 4 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and all the seasonings.
- Add in the basil, sun dried tomatoes, and Parmesan. Stir to combine.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir until mostly combined and a wet dough forms, being careful not to overwork the batter.
- Place the dough on top of the melted hot butter and use a greased offset spatula (or grease your hands) to evenly spread the dough out to the edges of the dish. (Don't fret if some of the butter rises above the dough.)
- Spray a bench scraper or knife on both sides. Cut the unbaked dough into 9 squares (3x3 rows.) Wipe and spray the bench scrape or knife again and go through the cut lines once more. (Don't fret if the dough tries to pool back together).
- Transfer the dish onto a rimmed baking sheet (just in case of spillover!)
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a tester in the center comes out clean, the tops are golden brown, and the biscuits start to pull away from the edges of the dish. (Start checking at 22 minutes).
- Allow the biscuits to rest for about 5 minutes before cutting so the butter can be absorbed.
- Slice along the lines you already made. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
If using a 9x9 baking dish, you might need to decrease the bake time by a couple minutes as the butter swim biscuits will be thinner.
