These fluffy drop biscuits are a quick and easy way to enjoy warm, homemade bread without the need for rolling or cutting.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Whisking aerates the dry ingredients, ensuring a lighter biscuit.
Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Cold butter is key to creating flaky layers in the biscuits.
Pour in the milk and stir gently with a spoon until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Overmixing can make the biscuits tough, so mix just until combined.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using a cookie scoop ensures evenly sized biscuits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with butter or your favorite spread for the best experience.
