Drop biscuits are wonderfully simple and quick to make, requiring only a handful of ingredients and a few minutes of your time. Unlike traditional biscuits that need to be carefully shaped, drop biscuits get their name from the easy method of simply dropping spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet. This method not only saves time but also creates biscuits with a rustic, charming appearance and a light, fluffy interior.

Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup whole milk, plus more if needed
Directions:
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 435 degrees F. Cut the cold butter into cubes, then pop them right back into the fridge. Next, add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together to combine, then toss in the cubed butter. Work the butter into the flour with a pastry blender or your hands.
Step 2
Next, add 3/4 cup whole milk and bring everything together (add more milk if needed until you don’t have a lot of loose flour hanging around). Now, grab a scoop and scoop up eight drop biscuits and arrange them in a parchment paper-lined baking tray. Once done, place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the tops are nice and golden.
