"Drop biscuits are one of the easiest baked goods to make. Despite being so easy to make, these biscuits are tender, flaky, buttery, and one of the single best things you’ll ever put in your mouth."

Recipe Card
ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cold buttermilk
- 8 tablespoons cold (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into chunks
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon saltPreheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, use a whisk to combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, use a whisk to combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Step 2
Add in cold butter chunks. Use a fork or pastry/biscuit cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients to form a fine crumble (small pieces of butter mixed into the flour mixture).
Step 3
Add buttermilk and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix! The dough should be just wet enough to form a loose ball. Add a splash more buttermilk if the dough is too dry to form a loose ball.
Step 4
On a greased baking sheet, use a ¼ cup measure to drop dough balls about an inch apart.
Step 5
Bake for 11-16 minutes at 425 degrees, until just golden.
