This recipe comes from our friend Jessie's new book Salty Cheesy Herby Crispy Snackable Bakes. "These butter-swims are quite literally some of the best biscuits you will ever have and they are thus beyond perfect for your annual friendsgiving. Not only will your pals will go bananas for them, but no one will believe they took you less than 10 minutes to assemble and about 20 to bake. In other words they are easy-peasy and you will now have number-one friend status amongst all your peeps. "

INGREDIENTS 
10 tbsp (141g) unsalted butter 
1½ c (195g) all-purpose flour
1 c (120g) cake flour
1½ tbsp granulated sugar 
1 tbsp plus 1½ tsp baking powder  
1 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp Old Bay seasoning, plus ¼ tsp more for sprinkling
1 tsp onion powder
2 c (200 g) whole milk 
  
  
STEPS

1. Heat the oven to 450°F. Place the butter in an 8--inch square baking pan and melt it in the oven while it heats—-but don’t forget about it; you want it just melted, not browned and sputtering.

2. Whisk together the flours, sugar, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, Old Bay, onion powder, and cheese in a large bowl. Pour the milk into the flour mixture and fold with a flexible spatula until combined—-the dough will be wet and a little loose. Scrape the biscuit dough into the melted butter–filled pan and pat it evenly over the butter, using a spatula or your hands—-the butter will seep up and around the edges of the dough; don’t be alarmed. Roughly cut the dough into nine equal--size biscuits with a bench scraper or butter knife.

3. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the tops of the biscuits are nicely browned. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the biscuits with the extra ¼ teaspoon of Old Bay. Let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before serving—-these cuties swim in butter, so they actually don’t need to be spread with it (but if you’re feeling “extra,” like we were the day we photographed these, then by all means go for it).
