Easy Baking Powder Drop Biscuits

I absolutely like this super simple drop biscuit recipe. It’s amazing how quickly you can prepare fresh baked goods at home. You can easily prepare them by using simple ingredients and, in 15-20 minutes, you will have fresh, moist, flavorful biscuits. For me, it is really very hard to resist their aroma.

I like such recipes because they are so universal. You can make this drop biscuit recipe unique by changing the amount of sugar or salt or by adding grated Parmesan cheese or herbs.

INGREDIENTS IN DROP BISCUITS;

You will need such ingredients for the drop biscuit recipe:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour;
• 2 ½ tsp baking powder;
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar;
• ½ tsp salt;
• ½ cup (1 stick) butter;
• 1 cup whole milk.

Also, you can add some cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, or other herbs.

HOW TO MAKE DROP BISCUITS?

1. Preheat the oven to 450F. In a mixing bowl, mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 ½ tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp garlic powder, and ¼ tsp dried oregano.
2. Add 1 stick of butter and press it into the mix of the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or a fork until it turns into a crumb consistency.
3. Then, slowly add 1 cup of milk in a few additions, mix after each addition. Don’t overmix.
4. Grease a cast-iron skillet with butter or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using an ice cream scoop, form biscuits and place them on a cast-iron skillet or baking sheet.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden. Brush with melted butter and enjoy!

CAN I MAKE THEM AHEAD OF TIME?

Yes, you can make them ahead and reheat easy homemade drop biscuits in the oven before serving.

FREEZE DROP BISCUITS?

You can freeze them raw and baked. I prefer freezing them before baking. Just prepare the batter.

Then, form biscuits using an ice cream scoop and place them on the baking sheet with a distance between each biscuit.

Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze. When easy homemade drop biscuits are frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe container or Ziploc bag. Store in the freezer for 1-2 months.

RECIPE TIPS;

1. Don’t use garlic powder and dried oregano if you are planning to serve easy homemade drop biscuits with a sweet topping. You can also add more sugar, depending on your taste.
2. You can also use some grated Parmesan cheese in this drop biscuit recipe. Stir in cheese before adding milk. You can also make buttermilk drop biscuits by following this recipe. Just use buttermilk instead of whole milk.
3. Feel free to make these easy homemade drop biscuits smaller. The baking time will change.
