Cheddar Garlic Butter Swim Biscuits

Preheat oven to 450F degrees. Spray a glass or ceramic 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish.

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and garlic powder.

Pour in the buttermilk. Stir until a sticky batter forms. If batter still seems too dry add a tad bit more buttermilk until the batter is thick and sticky.

Finally, gently stir in shredded cheddar and chopped chives. Gently stir until combined well.

Pour the biscuit dough into a baking dish, on top of the melted butter. Some of the butter will run over the top of the dough. Tip: I will spray my hand with some nonstick spray to help spread the dough out evenly in the pan.

Cut the dough into 9 squares. This will help with cutting later when the biscuits are baked.

Bake on the middle oven rack for about 25-30 minutes, rotating the dish once during baking.

Biscuits should be golden brown on the top and spring back to the touch. Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean with no batter, they are done!
