Quick and Simple Drop Biscuits Recipe

• Author: Cullys Kitchen

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 1 stick cold unsalted butter (cut into ¼ inch pieces – I threw them in the freezer for a few minutes to get them good and cold.)
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ¾ cups whole milk ( I used some cream I had left over from the holidays and mixed it with 2% milk.)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. In a large bowl whisk together all the dry ingredients. Fold the butter pieces in and using your fingers or a pastry blender work the butter into the dry ingredients to form a pea-like texture. (a food processor makes quick work for this)
3. Add the milk and stir until just moist.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or lightly spray with cooking spray. Using ¼ cup measuring cup place dough on baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake until biscuits are golden brown, about 20 minutes, let cool a little bit and serve warm.
