Description
Buttermilk Drop Biscuits are quick, fluffy, golden-topped biscuits made without rolling or cutting. Just mix, scoop, and bake for a tender, buttery side that pairs perfectly with breakfast, dinner, or any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Optional: garlic powder, shredded cheese, herbs, or honey
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in buttermilk just until a sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing a few inches apart.
- Bake 12–15 minutes, until tops are golden brown.
- Optional: brush with melted butter when out of oven. Serve warm.
Notes
- Dough will be sticky—that’s normal for drop biscuits.
- Brushing tops with butter adds flavor and a golden finish.
- Use a large cookie scoop for uniform biscuits.
- Do not overmix, or biscuits may turn dense.
