Butter Swim Biscuits
These popular biscuits are so named because pouring melted butter over batter in the pan gives the appearance of the batter "swimming" in butter. The resulting Cheddar-flecked biscuits are crisp around the edges with a fluffy interior. Set aside a few for a next-morning Cheddar Biscuit Breakfast Sandwich!
