Let’s get started on this delicious journey of making Butter Swim Biscuits!

Ingredients:

INGREDIENTS QUANTITY
All-purpose flour 2 cups
Baking powder 1 tablespoon
Granulated sugar 1 teaspoon
Salt 1 teaspoon
Unsalted butter 1 cup
Buttermilk 1 cup

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s ready when your biscuits are prepared.
  2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined. These dry ingredients are the base of your flaky biscuits.
  3. Cut in the Butter: Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, incorporate the butter into the flour mixture until it forms coarse crumbs. The small butter pieces are essential for creating those irresistible flaky layers.
  4. Add the Buttermilk: Pour the buttermilk into the bowl with the dry ingredients and butter. Gently mix everything until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; a slightly shaggy dough is perfectly fine.
  5. Prepare the Buttered Pan: Take a 9×9-inch baking pan or a similar-sized oven-safe dish and add half a cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter to it. Place the pan in the preheated oven for a few minutes, allowing the butter to melt completely.
  6. Form the Biscuits: While the butter melts in the pan, turn your attention back to the dough. Pat it gently on a floured surface to about 1-inch thickness. Cut out your biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass dipped in flour.
  7. Swim the Biscuits: Carefully remove the hot pan with melted butter from the oven. Take each biscuit and dip both sides into the melted butter, ensuring they are coated evenly. Place the buttered biscuits snugly next to each other in the pan.
  8. Bake to Perfection: Pop the pan back into the oven and bake the biscuits for about 20-25 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Once the biscuits are baked to perfection, take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve them warm with a touch of honey, jam, or simply enjoy their buttery goodness as they are.

I ASKED MY NEIGHBOR TO CLEAN UP AFTER USING MY BBQ — THE NEXT DAY, SHE LEFT HER OWN “RULES” ON MY DOOR, BUT I SHUT THAT DOWN. So, about six months ago, a new neighbor moved in — a woman (40) with her son (16). At first, she seemed chill. I even lent her some household stuff and let her use my outdoor grill station when we weren’t home. No big deal, right? Wrong. One weekend, me, my husband and our kids went to visit my parents. We came back, and boom — MY BACKYARD LOOKED LIKE A FRAT HOUSE HAD JUST HOSTED A BBQ APOCALYPSE. Empty bottles, food scraps, grill left dirty like it had survived a grease explosion. I ask her about it, and she just shrugs, saying it was her son’s birthday, so you know, it’s just kids, it’s what kids do. Apparently, I shouldn’t make a fuss over something so minor. Lady, it’s my backyard, not a public park! So, I do the reasonable thing. I draft up three simple rules: 1. If you use something, clean it and put it back. 2. Please, clean up after your child. 3. That’s it. Just be respectful. I hand it to her, thinking we’re all good. THE NEXT DAY, I WAKE UP TO A LIST OF HER RULES TAPED TO MY DOOR. HER rules. For MY property. Spoiler: I didn’t follow her rules. In two weeks, her son knocked on my door and pleaded, “Ma’am, please, stop!” 👇🏼 Full story in the first comment 👇

MY SISTER TOOK BACK THE CAR SHE GIFTED ME AFTER I UPGRADED IT, SO I TAUGHT HER A LESSON. My older sister sold me her old car for a symbolic amount. It hadn’t run in ages, with flat tires and rust under the hood. But she made a big deal out of gifting it to me. Knowing my way around cars, I invested $5,000 to upgrade everything—new interior, fresh paint, new tires, and wheels. I was thrilled with the result. One morning, as I was about to leave for university, my sister stormed in, DEMANDING THE CAR BACK. I was sh0cked. She claimed her husband’s car had broken down, and since she hadn’t sent the sale documents, the car was still legally hers. She said she had changed her mind. My parents sided with her, arguing that she needed the car for her kids. My first thought was to call the police, but then I had a better idea. I decided to teach her a lesson she wouldn’t forget.

A POOR BOY’S LIFE CHANGES AFTER HE PULLS AN OLD, RUSTY CHAIN STICKING OUT OF THE SAND ON A REMOTE BEACH Adam is 13 years old and lives with his grandfather in an old trailer near the ocean. His parents passed away when he was just 3, and since then, his grandpa has been his only family. They don’t have much, but his grandpa has raised him well—Adam is strong, smart, and way more mature than most kids his age. One afternoon, he rode his bike down to the beach, just like any other day. He wandered along the shore, letting the waves tickle his feet—until something caught his eye. A thick, rusted chain lay partially buried in the sand. Curious, Adam grabbed it and pulled—but it barely budged. Whatever it was connected to was massive. From that moment on, Adam became obsessed with digging. He had no idea what he was about to uncover—or how it was about to change his life forever ⬇️

The rusted chain jutting from the sand seemed worthless to everyone else, but to 13-year-old Adam, it promised an escape from poverty. He couldn’t have known that…

THEY WERE PRAYING IN A CIRCLE—BUT NO ONE TAUGHT THEM HOW It was just after snack time, and I was washing out some paint cups when I noticed the room had gone oddly quiet. Too quiet for a group of 4- and 5-year-olds who usually treated volume like a sport. I turned the corner into the play area and stopped in my tracks. Four of them—Niko, Janelle, Izzy, and Samir—were sitting cross-legged in a perfect little circle. Hands held. Eyes shut. Heads bowed. They were whispering something I couldn’t quite catch at first. I thought maybe it was a song or one of those rhyming games they loved. But when I leaned in, I realized they were… praying. Like, really praying. Asking for things. Saying “Amen.” Janelle even crossed herself at the end like she’d seen in church. Thing is, we don’t do any kind of religious activity in our classroom. It’s a public kindergarten. No nativity plays, no Bible stories, nothing. And I’d never seen any of these four talk about faith or even mimic that kind of behavior before. I crouched down and gently asked, “Hey, what are you guys doing?” Izzy opened one eye and whispered, “We’re asking the sky to help us.” “Help you with what?” I asked. Niko just said, ⬇️
