30-Minute Easy Drop Biscuits with Thyme and Parmesan
Description
This recipe showcases fluffy drop biscuits made from all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cold cubed butter, milk, fresh thyme, and freshly shredded Parmesan cheese. Butter is pulsed into the dry ingredients creating pea-sized pieces that help the dough bake into flaky layers. The wet ingredients bring everything together without overmixing to preserve tenderness and rise.
The dough is divided by spoonfuls and dropped onto a baking sheet, which eliminates rolling or cutting and speeds preparation. Baking at 400°F produces biscuits with golden tops, crisp edges, and soft, tender interiors flavored with fresh thyme's subtle earthiness and Parmesan's sharp, salty notes. Serve warm with whipped honey butter and sea salt to enhance the savory profile.
These biscuits are convenient for a quick side or snack and hold well if stored or frozen, making them easy to enjoy later with minimal reheating. Using a pastry blender is an alternative for mixing without a food processor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 /2 cup butter cubed, cold unsalted
- 1 cup milk whole
- 2 teaspoons thyme finely chopped, fresh
- 1/2 /2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly shredded
- honey butter for serving, whipped
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400°F. In a food processor, add flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Pulse several times to combine.
- Add cold, cubed butter to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times until butter is incorporated into the flour and forms a pea-sized mixture. Add milk, thyme, and parmesan. Pulse until combined and moist; a "ball" will start to form. Don't over mix at this point!
- Scoop out approximately 1/3 cup of dough and place on a baking sheet (dough will be divided into six even drops). Bake for 18-22 minutes until the tops begin to turn golden brown. Best served warm with whipped honey butter and a pinch of flakey sea salt!
Notes
- If no food processor is available, use a pastry blender to cut cold butter into dry ingredients, then mix in remaining ingredients.
- Wrap and freeze individual biscuits in an airtight container for up to 3 months; thaw before reheating.
- For dried thyme substitution, use 1 teaspoon dried instead of 2 teaspoons fresh.
- Use vegetarian-labeled Parmesan if needed for dietary restrictions.
