Rosemary Garlic Butter Bath Biscuits are buttermilk biscuits baked in a puddle of butter, fresh rosemary and garlic.
Rosemary Garlic Butter Bath Biscuits
These biscuits are a bit crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The buttermilk gives them a tangy flavor. The garlic and butter are decadent. The butter literally bathes the biscuits as they bake. It’s a great recipe to make if you need a bread for your dinner, but you don’t have a lot of time. We love our billion dollar buttery biscuits recipe for the same reason!

✏️ How to make Rosemary Garlic Butter Bath Biscuits:
*The complete, printable recipe is in the recipe card at the end of this post.
- Preheat the oven to 450℉.
- Melt the butter in a small skillet, and add the garlic and rosemary. Stir to mix well. Turn off the heat and set it aside to stay warm in the pan.
- In a large bowl, stir together the self-rising flour and salt. Pour in the buttermilk, stirring as you go until everything is incorporated. Note that the batter will be very sticky!
- Pour the butter into a 3-quart baking dish, and the scrape the biscuit dough right on top. Gently push the dough out to the edges. You’ll see the butter coming up around the outside.
- Flour the blade of a bench scraper or spatula and score two lines evenly spaced the long way (cutting the dough into thirds) and two cuts up the short way. You’ll wind up with 9 biscuits.
- Bake the biscuits until the top is very golden, 28 to 30 minutes. Let the dish sit for 5 minutes, and then sprinkle on the chives. Serve warm.
➡️ Tips and Substitutions:
- For me, this recipe turns out delicious any way you make it. But you can make it even better if you use a butter that is amazing. I like the Kerrygold Irish Butter. It’s so good!!
- Use fresh thyme in place of rosemary, if you’d like.
- You must use self-rising flour for this recipe. If you don’t have this type of flour and you don’t wish to buy a bag, you can make it. Making self-rising flour at home is easy. For this recipe, add 3 cups of all purpose flour to a bowl. Then whisk in 4 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Then you’ll have self-rising flour!
✔️ Make ahead tip:
This is not a recipe that I recommend trying to make ahead. These are definitely better hot out of the oven than reheated or eaten at room temperature.
❤️ What I Love About This Recipe:
- What’s not to love? They are buttery delicious.
- I love that the top crust is crusty. And in my opinion, the corner pieces are best!
