Drop Biscuits Recipe

Stacey Mebs
These drop biscuits are buttery and flaky without any effort at all — mix everything together, drop the dough on a cookie sheet and bake. So easy!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 3 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Butter melted and cooled
  • 1 cup Buttermilk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 475°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In another bowl, stir the melted butter into the buttermilk. Continue stirring until the butter starts to form solid clumps in the buttermilk.
  • Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Spray an ice cream scoop or a 1/4 cup measuring cup with non-stick cooking spray and use it to scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
  • Brush the biscuits with another 1-2 tablespoons of melted butter and serve them warm.

Notes

  • If you don’t have any buttermilk, you can substitute one cup of milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice.
  • I like to use a 3 tablespoon sized ice cream scoop (or cookie scoop) to make these drop biscuits, but you can also use a 1/4 cup sized dry measuring cup.
