Tender Simple Homemade Buttermilk Drop Biscuits
This recipe is the best recipe for Tender Simple Homemade Buttermilk Drop Biscuits. A hands-down favorite for an easy tender biscuit recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups 283g all-purpose flour (weighing flour is more accurate)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup 113.4g unsalted butter cut into large cubes (that's one stick)
- 1 cup 2% buttermilk well chilled
Instructions
- Heat oven to 475°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or use a reusable silicone mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, soda, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center.
- In a microwave-safe dish (a 2 cup Pyrex cup works well here) melt the butter until ¾ melted, about 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir to fully melt the butter. Pour the melted butter into the chilled buttermilk and stir to combine. (This mixture should look lumpy, don't worry, this is part of the process).
- Pour the buttermilk mixture into the center well in the flour, using a rubber spatula, fold to combine. Do not over-mix.
- Spray a ¼ cup round measuring cup with cooking spray. Scoop the dough out in scant ¼ cup amounts (scant means not to overfill the measuring cup) and drop onto the prepared baking dish, about 1 ½ inches apart. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake, 12 - 14 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned. Serve.
Notes
Delicious alone or try them with a topping of Simple Savory Sausage Gravy.
