Ingredient Drop BiscuitsThese simple, fluffy drop biscuits require only a few pantry staples and no rolling or cutting.
Ingredients
2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp salt
½ cup (115 g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
¾ cup (180 ml) milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the milk and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each biscuit.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.
Serve warm with butter, jam, honey, or gravy.
Tips
For extra-rich biscuits, replace half the milk with heavy cream.
Add shredded cheese, herbs, or cooked bacon for savory variations.
Brush tops with melted butter immediately after baking for a softer crust.
