Strawberry Butter Swim Biscuits

1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (235 degrees C).
2 Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl; pour in 2 cups of the buttermilk and 3 tablespoons melted butter. Stir until almost fully combined but some dry streaks remain, about 30 seconds.
3 Gently fold in strawberries until evenly combined.
4 Pour remaining 5 tablespoons melted butter into an 8-inch square baking dish; swirl the dish to evenly coat bottom and sides. Transfer dough to the prepared baking dish and gently spread into an even layer; cut biscuits into 9 even squares.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Checking after 20 minutes and tent with foil if biscuits are browning too quickly.
6 Remove from the oven and let rest in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk confectioner’s sugar and 1 tablespoon buttermilk together in a small bowl until combined. Drizzle evenly over warm biscuits, slice, and serve while warm. Recipe developed by Amanda Holstein
