Garlic Bath Biscuits 8-min

There are few things more delicious than a homemade biscuit slathered in butter. Except maybe a biscuit baked in butter… and garlic and herbs. If you’ve been around here very long, you may be familiar with our Butter Swim Biscuits. It’s a fan favorite recipe, and if you’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting one of these biscuits you’ll understand why. They’re incredibly easy to make and absolutely delicious. Today, we have a play on that original recipe with these Garlicky Butter Bath Biscuits!

They use the same simple process as the butter swim version, but with some additional herbs in the batter and garlic mixed into the butter. I had high hopes for how this modified version would come out… and they were completely exceeded. The flavor is reminiscent of focaccia (without all the work!) and the texture is pillowy perfection. Can’t beat those results, especially when the recipe is so easy.
