Easy Drop Biscuits

Easy drop biscuits are the ultimate in Southern comfort food. These buttery rich biscuits are irresistible addition to breakfast, lunch, or dinner and so much less work than traditional biscuits.

I am a Southern gal through and through.

That means I was raised on down home cooking and loads of buttery biscuits.

I love a good biscuit and make them often.

But a regular biscuit recipe requires you to roll them out and use a biscuit cutter.

I just don’t have the time for that most days.

And these easy drop biscuits don’t need you to do any of that.

I guess you could say that they give way more than they take and deliver big butter flavor without all the work.

They can be on your table in less than 20 minutes so you can make them any time a hankering strikes.

Ingredients

To make these you’ll need:

• Flour– All purpose flour.
• Baking powder and baking soda– For lift
• Sugar– Granulated
• Salt
• Buttermilk– Make sure you use buttermilk and not regular milk for the most tender results. Also make sure your buttermilk stays in the fridge, nice and cold, right up until you use it.
• Butter– Melted and slightly cooled

How to Make

These are the easiest drop biscuits you’ll ever make!

Just whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt together in a mixing bowl. 

In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk and butter together until the butter forms small clumps.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir them together until evenly incorporated and the batter begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.

Then scoop the biscuit batter out of the bowl with a large cookie scoop and drop dollops of batter onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet in even rows.

Bake the biscuits at 475° for 12-14 minutes.

Brush warm biscuits with a bit of melted butter before serving.

Enjoy!

What to Serve with Biscuits

Drop biscuits are a side for any meal, no matter what time of the day!

In the mornings, they are delicious with sausage gravy, eggs, or even cream dried beef.

For dinners, pair them with your favorite down home meals like fried chicken or country fried steak.

And for a snack, serve them up with a little butter and your favorite jam.

Storing

Store these in an airtight container or a ziplocking bag on the counter for 1 to 2 days or in the fridge for up to a week.

Freezing Biscuits

These drop biscuits freeze extremely well!

Bake them as instructed above and then let them cool completely.

Once they are cool, store them in an airtight, freezer safe container or bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Tips and Tricks

• Make sure the buttermilk is cold. You want it to be cold enough to cause the melted butter to firm up in little pieces when you whisk it together. These little pieces of butter throughout will create steam pockets in the biscuits that make them light and fluffy.
• Don’t have a cookie scoop? Use a small measuring cup- like an 1/8 of a cup- or a large spoon to drop the biscuit batter instead.
• Using parchment paper on your baking sheet keeps allows for an easy clean up and makes sure the biscuits don’t get stuck on your cooking sheet.
