Here’s a super easy recipe for drop biscuits—no rolling, no cutting, just mix and scoop:
🧈 Drop Biscuits (Soft & Fluffy)
🧾 Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) cold butter (cut into small cubes)
- 1 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra flavor)
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat oven
Set to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. - Mix dry ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. - Cut in butter
Add cold butter cubes and rub them into the flour using your fingers (or a pastry cutter) until the mixture looks crumbly. - Add milk
Pour in milk and gently mix until just combined. Don’t overmix—the dough should be slightly sticky. - Drop the dough
Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to drop rough mounds onto the tray. - Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden on top. - Optional finish
Brush with melted butter for extra flavor.
🔥 Tips:
- Keep butter cold for fluffy biscuits
- Don’t overwork the dough—this keeps them soft
- Add shredded cheese, garlic, or herbs for savory variations
🍽️ Serving Ideas:
- With butter and honey or jam
- Alongside soups or curries
- As a base for mini sandwiches
If you want, I can give you a cheddar garlic version or a buttermilk bakery-style recipe 😄
