Easy Drop Biscuits

Step 1

Arrange a rack to the center of your oven and preheat oven to 450F (230C).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside (alternatively you may bake biscuits directly on ungreased baking sheet).

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined.

Step 5

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).

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Scoop batter by approximately 3-Tablespoon-sized scoops and drop on prepared baking sheet, spacing biscuits at least 2” apart.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.
