Drop biscuits 🧈🥐 are quick, soft biscuits you make by dropping spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet—no rolling or cutting needed.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup cold butter (cubed)
- 1 cup milk or buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Add the cold butter and rub it into the flour with your fingers (or use a pastry cutter) until it looks like coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk or buttermilk and stir just until a soft dough forms. Don’t overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet (leave space between them).
- Bake 12–15 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
Optional Add-ins
- Cheddar cheese 🧀 for cheesy biscuits
- Garlic powder + parsley 🌿 for garlic biscuits
- Honey or a little extra sugar 🍯 for slightly sweet biscuits
