Old Fashioned Drop Biscuit Recipe

May 24, 2016 by Tiffany Davis 14 Comments

Scrumptious Old Fashioned Drop Biscuit Recipe |ImperfectlyHappy.com

I love this Old Fashioned Drop Biscuit Recipe – it is my go-to for a weekend brunch; and I never have leftovers. Making homemade biscuits are not only tastier but you can feel better about the ingredients you’re choosing; and that always makes for yummier food. Once you’ve seen how easy these are to make and taste the goodness, you’ll never want biscuits from a can again!

These drop biscuits are perfect for a country gravy or your homemade jam.  The trick to making them look as good as they taste is an ice cream scoop…easy peasy my friends.

Seriously, I’m hungry just thinking about these babies.

The Very Best Old Fashioned Drop Biscuit Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1  teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk
  • 1 stick of melted butter - cool just a bit before adding
  • 4 - 6 tablespoons butter reserved to drizzle on baked biscuits (optional)
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Ice Cream Scoop

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees
  2. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper
  3. In your large mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar
  4. In your smaller mixing bowl combine the cooled melted butter and the cold buttermilk
  5. Add the liquid to your dry ingredients
  6. Mix and use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides
  7. Use your ice cream scoop to make round heaps of the batter on your parchment lined baking sheet
  8. Bake 12 - 15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown
  9. Drizzle with the reserved melted butter, or get fancy and use a pastry brush for more even coverage
  10. Grub

      You can also make buttermilk in 5 minutes from regular milk. Add 1 Tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let sit 5 minutes. Buttermilk!

    I made these for brunch with my family…..delicious! And I am not a “biscuit maker”. Yes, I buy the cans…… don’t hate me! ?
    I was surprised and very delighted in the taste and texture! Thank you for sharing! Will definitely be making these again and again!
