Easy Drop Biscuits
Description
To prepare, dry ingredients are whisked together, then cold butter is cut into the mixture until pea-sized pieces remain. Milk is gradually added until the dough holds together but remains soft enough to drop by spoonful onto a greased baking sheet.
Baked at 400°F, the biscuits rise with a light, tender crumb and slightly crisp edges. They offer a versatile side suitable for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Storing biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature preserves freshness for a few days. These biscuits are straightforward to prepare without needing to roll or shape, practical for quick baking needs.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅓ cup butter cold
- 1 to 1 ¼ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a large baking sheet.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl.
- Add cold butter and cut in with a pastry blender until the butter is the size of peas or slightly smaller.
- Add milk a bit at a time stirring after each addition until the dough holds together but is soft enough to be dropped with a spoon.
- Drop dough by heaping tablespoons to create 12 biscuits.
- Bake 12-15 minutes or lightly browned.
Notes
- Store biscuits at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain softness.
