Ever get that sudden craving for something warm, buttery, and just a little crispy on the outside? That's where drop biscuits come in! These no-fuss, no-rolling-pin-needed biscuits are the perfect go-to when you want fresh bread without the hassle. Trust me, once you try these, you'll wonder how you lived without them!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional for a slightly sweet biscuit)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold butter (cubed)
- 1 cup milk (you can use buttermilk for extra fluffiness!)
- Prep Time! Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. This is the base of your biscuit magic!
- Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. (Pro tip: Keep that butter cold—it’s the secret to flaky biscuits!)
- Add the Milk: Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky but not too wet.
- Drop 'Em: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop mounds of dough onto your prepared baking sheet. No need to make them perfect—rustic is the name of the game!
- Bake Away: Pop those beauties in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they’re golden brown on top.
- Cool & Serve: Let them cool slightly before diving in. Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam. Pure bliss!
