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.

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.

Pillsbury Italian Biscuit Flatbread image

This recipe came from Edith Shulman of Sedona AZ Bake-off Contest 32, 1986. She won $2,000! I found this on the Pillsbury website and really liked it and wanted to put it on Recipezaar for safekeeping. (I altered the recipe to include a little topping of Mozarella cheese)

Categories     Breads

Time 30m

Yield 10-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
3 green onions, sliced thinly
1 minced garlic clove
1 (12 ounce) can Pillsbury refrigerated biscuits
mozzarella cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F.
  • Combine all ingredients through garlic in a bowl.
  • Separate the biscuits. Split the biscuits into the top and bottom half of biscuit.
  • Flatten each biscuit on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Spread about 1 tbl or more of cheese mixture over each flattened biscuit round. Top with a bit of Mozarella cheese if desired.
  • Bake at 400 F for about 10 to 13 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Always measure and prepare all your ingredients before you start cooking. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your drop biscuits will turn out. Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make your drop biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Drop the Dough by Rounded Tablespoonfuls: This will help ensure that your drop biscuits are all uniform in size and shape.
  • Bake the Drop Biscuits Until They Are Golden Brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a slightly crispy exterior.
