Blueberry Cornmeal Butter Swim Biscuits

Recipe Ingredients

Here’s a look at the ingredients you’ll need for these easy Blueberry Cornmeal Butter Swim Biscuits.

Butter: You can’t really call them “butter swim” without butter, right? This recipe calls for unsalted butter, but substitute salted butter if you prefer.

Bisquick™ Mix: Starting with Bisquick makes this recipe easy and guarantees a delicious biscuit. 

Blueberries: Use fresh or frozen berries here. If using frozen, no need to thaw, just toss with the Bisquick while still frozen and bake an additional 1-2 minutes (adjust depending on the size of your frozen berries).

Cornmeal: Cornmeal adds texture, cheery yellow color, and a sweet, nutty flavor to these biscuits.

Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Whole milk, powdered sugar, and salt. 

How to Make Blueberry Cornmeal Butter Swim Biscuits

Here are some of our best tips for making Blueberry Cornmeal Butter Swim Biscuits. See the recipe for all the details.

1. Melt the Butter

Start by melting the butter right in the baking dish as the oven preheats. This will only take a few minutes. Keep an eye on the butter so it doesn’t burn.

2. Make the Batter

This is an easy batter that comes together quickly. Once it's ready, pour the batter into the hot pan with the melted butter; this is when the biscuits “swim” in the butter.

3. Bake & Ice the Biscuits

Bake the biscuits until they are deep golden around the edges. While the biscuits bake, make the icing and pour it onto the hot biscuits once they come out of the oven. 

How to Store (and Reheat) Blueberry Cornmeal Butter Swim Biscuits

These biscuits are best enjoyed shortly after baking, within the day. If you do have leftovers, follow these tips for storing and reheating.

Room Temperature

Store cooled biscuits in the pan covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container for 1-2 days.

Refrigerator

Cover the pan with plastic wrap or place biscuits in an airtight food storage container for up to 3 days.

Freezer

Freeze any leftover biscuits by wrapping individually in plastic wrap and freezing in a resealable food storage bag for up to 1 month.

Thawing and Reheating

If biscuits are frozen, thaw at room temperature overnight. To warm the biscuits, unwrap and microwave for 10 seconds. Be cautious as the icing and berries can be very hot.
