Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- ¾ cup milk (whole milk or buttermilk)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
3. Cut in the Butter
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add the Milk
Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix — the dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
5. Drop the Biscuits
Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop 8–10 spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Tips for the Best Drop Biscuits
- Keep Your Butter Cold: Cold butter creates flaky layers.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing makes biscuits tough.
- Use Buttermilk: For tangier flavor and extra tenderness.
- Brush with Butter: Right out of the oven for extra flavor.
Variations to Try
- Cheddar & Chive: Add 1 cup shredded cheddar and 2 tablespoons chopped chives.
- Garlic Herb: Mix in 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon dried parsley.
- Sweet: Add an extra tablespoon of sugar and serve with jam or honey.
