DROP BISCUITS



Drop Biscuits image

Quick, easy Drop Biscuits. Tender, fluffy, and completely fuss free! So simple to whip up and they turn out perfectly every time.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup butter (cold)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or swap white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour*)
1 tablespoon baking powder (I recommend aluminum free)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup whole milk (or buttermilk)
3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (I used nonfat)
1 teaspoon honey
Grated parmesan and finely chopped fresh chives (try adding a pinch of garlic powder to the dry ingredients with this one!)
Shredded sharp cheddar and ground black pepper
Shredded gruyere and finely chopped fresh rosemary or thyme

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Dice the butter into small pieces and place it in the freezer while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. (If adding any herbs, garlic powder, or black pepper, do it here.)
  • Scatter the cold butter pieces over the top. With a pastry blender (or my favorite, your fingers), cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Some pieces may be the size of small pebbles and others as large as peas.
  • In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, and honey until smoothly combined. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients a little at a time, stirring lightly between additions. (If adding cheese, add it slowly as you add the milk.) Stop stirring as soon as the dough holds together. It will be very moist and seem wet.
  • Drop the batter by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. I like to use a muffin scoop for this-you'll have 9 large or 12(ish) more moderately sized biscuits total. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until the tops are golden and spring back lightly when touched. Enjoy warm.

Categories     Biscuits & Scones

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon (14 grams) baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick, 113 grams) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup-1 cup (175-240 mililiters) milk or buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 F (232 C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt together. If you want to add any herbs or spices you can add them here.
  • Add the pieces of cold butter and cut into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or fork until the consistency of coarse meal. If you want to add any cheeses or other add-ins you can stir them in here before adding the milk.

  • Drop large mounds (about 1/4 cup each. I use a 2 oz scoop) onto a baking sheet. You can also use a cast iron skille that has been greased with butter.
  • Bake at 450 F (232 C) for 18-22 minutes until golden brown

EASY 3 INGREDIENT SELF-RISING FLOUR BISCUITS



Easy 3 Ingredient Self-Rising Flour Biscuits image

Self-Rising Flour Biscuits are the easiest biscuits you will ever make! The dough for these drop biscuits comes together in less than 10 minutes and uses only 3 ingredients: self-rising flour, salted butter, and milk or buttermilk!

Provided by Bettie

Categories     All Recipes

Time 26m

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 1/4 cups (270) self-rising flour (see notes for substitution)
1 stick (1/2 cup, 112 gr) salted butter, cold (see notes for substitution)
3/4 cup - 1 1/4 cup (177-295 ml) milk or buttermilk, cold (see notes for substitution)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 450F (232 C)
  • Measure out your flour by fluffing it up with a spoon, lightly spooning it into your measuring cup being careful not to pack it down, and level it off. Or use a scale to measure by weight. Place in a large mixing bowl.
  • Cut your cold butter into small chunks and add it into your flour. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut the butter into the flour until it is the texture of coarse meal.
  • Add about 3/4 cup of the cold milk into your flour and butter mixture and stir using a spoon or rubber spatula, not a whisk, just until the flour is incorporated, about 10-15 seconds. Add more milk as needed to bring the consistency to a very thick batter. You want it thin enough that it could not be rolled out like a dough, but still very thick. See the video above for the right consistency. I usually need 1 cup, but you may need a little more or a little less. Do not over-mix your batter or you will have tough biscuits.
  • Using a 2 oz scoop or a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop out your biscuits into a cast iron skillet or onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Place the biscuits in your preheated oven, and bake at 450 F (232 C) for 16-18 minutes, until golden brown.
  • If desired, spoon melted butter over the top of the baked biscuits.
  • Completely cooled biscuits can be wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To refresh, warm in a 325 F (163 C) oven for about 10 minutes until warmed through.

Provided by Sam Merritt

Categories     Bread

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 Tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar (25g)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon table salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk (236ml)

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack to the center of your oven and preheat oven to 450F (230C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside (alternatively you may bake biscuits directly on ungreased baking sheet).
  • Cut butter into 8 pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted. Set aside to allow to cool.
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour buttermilk into a large measuring cup or medium-sized bowl. While whisking, slowly drizzle in melted butter until combined (it is OK if the butter separates a bit).
  • Pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and use a spatula or spoon to gently fold together until ingredients are just-combined. Don't overmix or the biscuits may be dense and dry.
  • Scoop batter by approximately 3-Tablespoon-sized scoops and drop on prepared baking sheet, spacing biscuits at least 2" apart.
  • Transfer to 450F (230C) oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits are beginning to turn a light golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet for several minutes before serving. If desired, brush additional melted butter over the biscuits while they are still warm.

Tips:

  • For light and fluffy biscuits, make sure to use cold butter and buttermilk. This will help to create a flaky texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough biscuits.
  • Drop the dough onto the baking sheet using a spoon or cookie scoop. This will help to ensure that the biscuits are evenly sized.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven until they are golden brown. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.

Conclusion:

These homemade drop biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals.
