BEST EVER DROP BISCUITS (SMALL BATCH)



Best Ever Drop Biscuits (Small Batch) image

Drop biscuits are best the same day they are made...no comparison!!! Perfect for 4 people. When you stir slightly cooled melted butter into cold buttermilk, the butter will clump. Although this might look like a mistake, it's one of the secrets to this recipe. You can double the recipe...if needed!

Provided by Abby Girl

Categories     Breads

Time 23m

Yield 6 bicuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk (cold)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly (about 5 minutes)
1 tablespoon butter, melted for brushing on top of warm buscuits

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in large bowl. Combine buttermilk and 1/4 cup melted butter in medium bowl, stirring until butter forms small clumps.
  • Add buttermilk mixture to dry ingredients and stir with rubber spatula until just incorporated and batter pulls away from sides of bowl.
  • Using greased 1/4-cup dry measure, scoop a scant amount of batter and drop onto parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining batter, spacing biscuits about 1 1/2 inches apart.
  • Bake until tops are golden brown and crisp, 8 - 12 minutes. They can be made up ahead of time and gently re-heated in a 300 oven for 10 minutes.
  • Brush biscuit tops with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Transfer to wire rack and let cool 5 minutes before serving.
  • Test if baking powder is fresh: Mix 2 teaspoons of the baking powder into a cup of water. If there is an immediate reaction of foaming and fizzing, the baking powder is okay to use. If the reaction is at all delayed or weak, throw it away and buy a fresh can.

DROP BISCUITS



Drop Biscuits image

Drop biscuits are heavenly, and considering how little work they are to put together, they're also a real kitchen miracle. A few pantry staples and a hot oven are all you need for crunchy golden biscuits with soft interiors. They are excellent on their own, but a bit of butter and jam doesn't hurt either. Once you've nailed the basic version, try stirring in some cracked black pepper and Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely chopped tender herbs or chocolate chips.

Provided by Samantha Seneviratne

Categories     breakfast, brunch, quick breads

Time 30m

Yield 8 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
10 tablespoons/141 grams cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
3/4 cup whole milk, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons, if needed

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it is the texture of coarse meal with some pea-size pieces.
  • Using a fork, stir in the milk until just evenly moistened, adding up to 2 more tablespoons, if necessary, but stopping before the dough gets too wet. Scoop the dough into 8 rough mounds (about 1/3-cup each) and place them on the prepared sheets. Bake the biscuits until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SWEET POTATO DROP BISCUITS



Sweet Potato Drop Biscuits image

These biscuits, from my own original recipe, are light, rich, moist and slightly spicy. The sweet potato flavor is pronounced but not overpowering. They're great for breakfast, but since they aren't sweet, they work well as a side dish for lunch or dinner, too.

Provided by Annes Kitchen

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h50m

Yield 12 large biscuits, 6-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh nutmeg
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in 1/4-inch cubes and chilled in freezer
1 cup sweet potato, cooked and mashed*
1/2 cup plain yogurt (or buttermilk)
1 tablespoon light brown sugar (or agave nectar)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425Ëš.
  • Sift dry ingredients together into food processor. Pulse to blend. Add cold butter and pulse several times, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Turn mixture out into mixing bowl.
  • Combine sweet potato, yogurt and sugar or agave nectar in processor and run for several seconds to blend thoroughly.
  • Add sweet potato mixture to flour mixture and stir together briefly, just until all flour is incorporated and dough forms a ball. (Mixture may be sticky.) Do not overwork the dough.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop-either ½ or ¼ cup capacity-scoop uniform mounds onto sheets. You can get 5 large or 10 small biscuits onto each cookie sheet.
  • Bake until biscuits are set and just start to brown: about 20 minutes for large and 15 minutes for the small size.
  • These are best served hot (with butter if desired). They can be reheated on a baking sheet for 5 minutes at 400Ëš: good as new.
  • * Use 2 small-to-medium sweet potatoes baked whole for 1 hour at 375Ëš and scooped out. I also made this w/ 1 giant sweet potato (1 1/4 cup): excellent! Very sticky batter, but biscuits were light, moist and nicely peppery.
  • Makes about 12 medium or 24 small (bite size) biscuits.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will help create flaky, tender biscuits. If you don't have time to chill your butter, you can freeze it for about 15 minutes before grating it.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make your biscuits tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Drop the dough onto a greased baking sheet: This will help prevent the biscuits from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the biscuits rise quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overbake the biscuits: Overbaked biscuits will be dry and crumbly. Bake the biscuits just until they are golden brown on top.
  • Serve the biscuits warm: Warm biscuits are the best biscuits. Enjoy them with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.

Conclusion:

Drop biscuits are a quick and easy bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make delicious drop biscuits that your whole family will love. So what are you waiting for?
