#BUTTER DROP BISCUIT RECIPE FULL#

That’s okay, it is supposed to look that way! From here, we simply drop mounds of dough onto a baking sheet (or into a cast iron pan) and bake. The drop biscuit dough will look shaggy and might be a bit sticky. Watch us do it in the video, it only takes 30 seconds or so of stirring. The key is to mix until a dough forms, but not to over do it. Slowly pour in the milk while you mix with a fork. We use whole milk (although, reduced-fat would probably be fine). Step 3, When the butter and flour mixture looks like coarse crumbs, you can add the milk. We do this when making our all-butter homemade pie crust. Another option is to use a food processor to pulse the butter into the flour mixture. You can see us use both methods in the video. Alternatively, use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour. Step 2, Use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour mixture. It’s important that your butter is very cold, we don’t want it to melt or warm up before hitting the heat of the oven. Step 1, Start by whisking the flour, baking powder and salt together, and then add small cubes of cold butter.

Here are the basic steps (the full recipe is shared below and we have provided a quick video above that walks you through each step). We use self-raising flour to make our Southern-style chicken and dumplings. Keep in mind that results may vary from brand to brand since the amount of salt and baking powder can be different. Most store-bought self-rising flour blends already include baking powder and salt. You’ll need:Ĭan I use self-rising flour? I like to make my own blend of flour, baking powder and salt, however, self-rising flour should be successful in this recipe. The ingredients are very simple and pretty much the same as traditional biscuits. No patting out, no rolling and no cutting required.

Instead of rolling out and cutting into shapes, all you need to do for drop biscuits is spoon (or drop) mounds of dough onto a baking sheet and bake. If you are not in the loop, drop biscuits are a quicker, simpler version of traditional biscuits (see our buttermilk biscuits recipe). If you love this recipe, try our Easy Cheese Drop Biscuits!
