Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Southern 4-Ingredient Butter Dip Biscuits—soft, buttery, and perfect for breakfast or dinner!
🧈 Ingredients (4 only)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter (plus extra for dipping)
🥣 Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
2. Make the Dough
- Cut the cold butter into small cubes.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
3. Form the Biscuits
- Add a splash of cold water (about 1/2 cup) gradually and mix just until the dough comes together.
- Roll or pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Cut into squares or circles using a knife or biscuit cutter.
4. Bake
- Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Butter Dip
- While hot, brush generously with melted butter for that classic Southern richness.
🍽️ Tips
- Keep everything cold—it makes the biscuits flakier.
- Don’t overmix the dough. Light kneading = tender biscuits.
- Serve with honey, jam, or gravy for extra indulgence.
If you want, I can also give a shortcut version using a cast iron skillet that makes these biscuits extra fluffy and buttery, Southern-style. It’s even more “wow” than the sheet-pan version.
