Here’s a simple and fluffy Drop Biscuits recipe—quick, buttery, and perfect for breakfast or alongside soups and stews:
🥣 Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- ¾ to 1 cup cold buttermilk (start with ¾ cup, add more if needed)
🍴 Instructions
1. Preheat and prep:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Mix dry ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cut in the butter:
- Add cold butter to the flour mixture.
- Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to cut the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add the buttermilk:
- Pour in ¾ cup cold buttermilk and gently stir until a sticky dough forms.
- If dough seems too dry, add a little more buttermilk, one tablespoon at a time.
5. Drop the biscuits:
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Leave a little space between each biscuit—they’ll spread slightly.
6. Bake:
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and brush with melted butter, if desired.
💡 Tips for Perfect Drop Biscuits:
- Cold butter is key for flakiness.
- Don’t overmix—the dough should be sticky and lumpy.
- Serve warm with honey, butter, or gravy for a classic Southern touch.
If you want, I can also give a cheesy garlic version of drop biscuits that’s super flavorful and perfect for dinner sides.
