These Cranberry Orange Butter Swim Biscuits are perfect for the holiday season!

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
We love everything about this biscuit recipe! The flavor is wonderful and is the perfect biscuit for Christmas morning. We have had some people tell us they have such a hard time with biscuits, and if that is you.. these are the ones to make! No kneading needed and you can make them using one bowl. They come together easily and you dont have to cut them out or anything. You just need an 8X8 pan! Perfect for a small gathering or you could make two pans! Now.. if you are a fan of homemade biscuits, you must make our Cathead Biscuits, they are amazing.
SWAPS
We love the glaze on these biscuits but you can absolutely leave it off if you like. You could also add a little orange juice to it for an an orange glaze. You can use salted butter and leave the salt out of the recipe.


⭐TIP
We use fresh cranberries in this recipe and the flavor is great. You could probably switch them out for craisins if you needed.
