Strawberry Butter Swim Biscuits are buttery biscuits filled with sugar-coated strawberries, baked to golden brown for a delightful breakfast or dessert. There is also an optional simple glaze you can drizzle over the tops of the biscuits for the finishing touch, or should I say taste!

Ingredients
- 1 cup (166 g) fresh strawberries, (washed, hulled, diced, divided)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, (divided)
- 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups (490 g) buttermilk
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, ( melted)
- 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons whole milk

Instructions
1. [Biscuits] Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. [Biscuits] To a small bowl, add ¾ cup of strawberries. Toss with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Set aside.
3. [Biscuits] In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and the remaining tablespoon of sugar together.
4. [Biscuits] Pour in the buttermilk. Stir until mostly combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.
5. [Biscuits] Fold in the sugar-coated strawberries, including any liquid from the berries.
6. [Biscuits] Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish. Place the dough on top of the butter. Using a spatula (or your hands), evenly spread the dough out to the edges of the pan.
7. [Biscuits] Score the unbaked dough into 9 squares (3×3 pattern). Top with the remaining ¼ cup of strawberries. Bake for 30-32 minutes, or until the the biscuits are golden brown.
8. [Biscuits] After removing the biscuits from the oven, allow the butter to be absorbed. Let the biscuits cool slightly before adding the glaze (if using).
9. [Glaze (Optional)] In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk. Add more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
10. [Glaze (Optional)] Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled biscuits.
