Easy Drop Biscuits
Description
These Easy Drop Biscuits come together quickly using melted unsalted butter combined with buttermilk and dry ingredients including baking powder and baking soda for proper rise and a light texture. The batter is gently mixed to avoid toughness, then spooned onto a lined baking sheet and baked at high heat for a crusty outside and soft inside.
The biscuits achieve a tender crumb with subtle sweetness, complemented by the richness of butter. They are baked without shaping, allowing rustic, uneven shapes with crisp edges. The recipe is straightforward and requires minimal hands-on time compared to traditional biscuits.
Serve warm to best enjoy their flavor and texture. They are ideal alongside breakfast, soups, or stews. Their softness and simple flavor make them versatile for various meals.
The notes suggest these biscuits store well at room temperature for up to two days but are best eaten warm. The recipe recommends using parchment for ease, though a greased baking sheet may suffice.
Ingredients
- 8 Tablespoons butter unsalted
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
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.
Notes
- Serve these biscuits warm for best flavor and texture.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
