Notes
Make a double batch: These freeze well and make a great breakfast-in-a-hurry, so it's worth making that second batch.
Real butter is better: As this is one of the key ingredients in butter swim biscuits, don't use margarine or anything other than real butter.
Grease the baking dish: Don't skip this step or the finished swim biscuits will break apart when you try to cut slices. Optionally you can use parchment paper too.
