How this recipe comes together
Making Buttermilk Drop Biscuits is a straightforward process you can accomplish in under 30 minutes. Gather your ingredients and preheat your oven. You’ll whisk the dry ingredients together, cut in the cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs, and then add the buttermilk. The result is a thick, sticky dough that you’ll simply drop onto a baking sheet. In just 12-15 minutes, your biscuits will emerge golden and irresistible.
Key ingredients
To whip up these delightful biscuits, you’ll need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup cold buttermilk
If you’re out of buttermilk, you can create a substitute by mixing milk with a splash of vinegar or lemon juice. It will mimic the acidity that’s essential for perfect biscuits.
