EASY DROP BISCUITS 
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup cold buttermilk (place in refrigerator until needed)
4 tbsp. butter at room temperature.
1 tbsp. sugar

Preheat oven to 475°F.

Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Measure dry ingredients into a medium bowl (sifting is not necessary). Add butter and milk to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overwork the batter!)

Immediately drop by 1/4 cupfuls onto baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-15 minutes.

For larger biscuits, drop by half cupfuls onto baking sheet about 3 inches apart, and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Biscuits are done when golden brown on top and lightly browned on the bottom.

Cooks Note: Biscuits may be brushed with cream or egg wash before baking, if an extra sheen is desired. To make egg wash, beat 1 egg with 1 tablespoon water.

Easy Drop Biscuits

I have never been successful at getting a biscuit or scone to rise/puff up at all. This is BY FAR the easiest and best biscuit recipe I have ever used (and I've tried my fair share). I just need to work on dropping them a little neater to get a good presentation but the taste OMG! And soooo easy! LOVE THEM!

This recipe was SUPER easy. Even made it with powdered milk. Kids and husband stated that they tasted better than store bought packaged alternative. Really excited to make some to freeze. I will try making some for diabetics also. I will let you know how those turn out.

I make these biscuits at least once a week. I love them! Lots of fun to tweak to satisfy your craving taste buds. Today I'm substituting buttermilk for cherry yogurt and vanilla. Soo Good!

Just made these, had to have one right away. Not only did they look great but taste great. Best recipe I have found to date.

These are so great and easy. I always make a double batch of them 3 or 4 times a week. Leftovers make a great breakfast with preserves.

My mom passed away in my early 20's and I always wished that she could've taught me to replicate her delicious buttermilk biscuits and I've tried for years and ended up with flat, tough hockey pucks, lol. These come out great every time and are even good the next day (if any are left) stored in an airtight container. I don't have to buy frozen any more and can whip them up in a jiffy. Thanks so much for sharing!

I love this recipe but have made a few adjustments. First, I use 5 tbsp. of butter (I tried more, but the texture of the biscuit became doughy). Second, I bake at 450°F for 18-20 minutes. I also position my oven rack as high as possible. This allows the biscuits to get fully cooked on the inside without being too dark or crusty on the outside. Third, I wrap them in foil or plastic wrap as soon as they come out of the oven to soften the outer crust a bit.

I love these, I have made them several times! I even sometimes add cinnamon, more sugar, raisins, and cover with conf. sugar icing for cinnamon raisin biscuits. I double the recipe and cut the biscuits for this! Yummy!!

 Caprice (Pennsylvania) says:
So I tweaked the recipe a little. I did everything it called for but I added fresh garlic, herbs and cheddar cheese shredded in the batter. I also used 4 oz. coconut milk and 4 oz. whole milk. OMG! So delicious! Thank you.

I like this recipe. The biscuits have good flavor.
I made the large ones and set the timer for 20 minutes, but took them out after 15 minutes because I could smell they were done. Next time I bake them I will try to remember to check them at 13 minutes so they don't get quite so dark.
Thank you for sharing this recipe.

The biscuits never browned on top and couldn't detect any salt. Also texture was gummy.
