Easy Drop Biscuits
These Easy Drop Biscuits are a golden, buttery delight that come together in just 20 minutes. Perfectly fluffy on the inside with a slightly crisp exterior, they’re a versatile treat for breakfast, dinner, or a snack.
Ingredients
- 8 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 g)
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar (25 g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk (236 ml)
Instructions
- Arrange a rack to the center of your oven and preheat oven to 450F (230C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside (alternatively you may bake biscuits directly on ungreased baking sheet).
- Cut butter into 8 pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted. Set aside to allow to cool.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Pour buttermilk into a large measuring cup or medium-sized bowl. While whisking, slowly drizzle in melted butter until combined (it is OK if the butter separates a bit).
- Pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and use a spatula or spoon to gently fold together until ingredients are just-combined. Don’t overmix or the biscuits may be dense and dry.
- Scoop batter by approximately 3-Tablespoon-sized scoops and drop on prepared baking sheet, spacing biscuits at least 2” apart.
- Transfer to 450F (230C) oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits are beginning to turn a light golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet for several minutes before serving. If desired, brush additional melted butter over the biscuits while they are still warm.
