Description

Simple recipe for quick drop biscuits using baking powder.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in the milk all at once. Stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  7. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For softer biscuits, use slightly more milk.
  • You can brush the tops with melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven.
