Buttermilk Drop Biscuits Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup cold butter (+ 3 tablespoons of melted butter for tops)
• 1 cup buttermilk (or whole milk)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425°F and set out a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

   Set out a mixing bowl. Sift the flour, then measure and level it. Combine the dry ingredients in the bowl. Mix well.

3. 3

   Using a cheese grater, shave the cold stick of butter into the dry ingredients. Gently mix the shaved butter into the flour.

4. 4

   Add the buttermilk and gently mix to create a lumpy dough.

   Scoop 3 tablespoon portions of biscuit dough out and dollop them on the baking sheet, 2 inches apart.

6. 6

   Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden around the edges.

   Meanwhile melt 3 tablespoons of butter. The moment the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the butter over the top of the biscuits. Serve warm.
