How to Make My Mom’s Butter Dips – Biscuits
Do you have recipes that always make you think of certain events? They don’t have to be anything spectacular (nor do the events) to make them memorable. That is exactly what my Mom’s Butter Dips do for us. They say all day shopping trip with the girls!
The Butter Dips Tradition
We used to plan all day shopping trips for the girls in the family. We would leave at the crack of dawn and return around midnight. There were times that we could barely walk the next day, but we had lots of fun. I can’t say for certain that it was every time, but at least 90% of the time, the day started off with bacon and my Mom’s Butter Dips.
These delicious biscuits were nice and buttery, and they traveled well. We would actually eat them throughout the day – anytime we needed a snack. They were the perfect way to get the needed carbs to keep on going!
I am not much of a baker, but these are super easy. If you find yourself looking for an easy yet tasty homemade (buttery) biscuit recipe, try this one! It wasn’t until I started typing this recipe that I realized they are really called Butter Dips. I have always called them Butter Buds; I have no idea why!
My Mom’s Butter Dips Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/4 C. Butter (or more)
- 1 1/4 C. All Purpose Flour
- 2 t. Sugar
- 2 t. Baking Powder
- 1 t. Salt
- 2/3 C. Milk
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 450. In a square pan or baking dish (9X9), melt the butter in the oven. Measure the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl and stir well. Add the milk and stir just until a dough forms.
* Use a spoon to stir until a dough forms, not a whisk like the picture shows. (Experience talking,)
Turn the dough onto a well floured board, and roll the dough around to coat it on both sides. Knead lightly about 10 times, and then roll into an 8 inch square. As you can see, a circle works fine too. With a floured knife, cut the dough in half, and then cut each half into strips.
Dip each strip into the butter (both sides) and place them in the baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown.
When you take them out of the oven, the butter will be bubbling around the bread. After it settles, it soaks into it, making it nice and buttery. Enjoy them while they are warm!
We no longer go on our all day shopping sprees. As we have gotten older, we found out that it is just a little too much. However, we still enjoy my Mom’s Butter Dips on occasion, and they always bring back great memories.
