Easy Drop Buttermilk Biscuits

This is an older recipe and while I still love it, this 15 minute American Biscuits recipe is even better. I recommend comparing recipes before deciding what to make.

Drop Biscuits – A Winning Side Dish!

The key to the easiest, most delicious and simple buttermilk biscuits ever are self rising flour. Self rising flour is flour that already has built in baking soda and salt built in. Additionally, biscuits do not require yeast (like many breads) and act like a drop or sheet pan biscuit.

There are literally hundreds of recipes for buttermilk biscuits- some with flaky layers, some with lots of rolling and cutting – but personally I want a recipe that is easily done to quickly enjoy.

Buttermilk Biscuits with Self Rising Flour

I would venture to say that this recipe ALSO tastes surprisingly like KFC buttermilk biscuits (although not as pretty shaped since I do it manually). Give them a shot and let me know what you think!

• 2 1/2 cups self rising flour (NOT all purpose)
• 1/2 tsp white sugar
• 1 1/4 cups cold buttermilk
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• additional butter for biscuits (at end)
• Parchment paper

How to make Drop Buttermilk Biscuits

Preheat oven to 475. Prep sheet pan with a sheet of parchment paper and set aside.

Combine flour and sugar together and mix. In a separate bowl, add melted butter and buttermilk together. Note that buttermilk will clump butter and that is normal.

Now combine wet ingredients into the dry ingredients together. Stir with a wooden spoon until dough starts to pull out from the bowl but be careful not to overmix. Overmixing can be the death of so many recipes!

Drop Those Biscuits!

Drop approx. 2 inches of buttermilk biscuits, 1 inch apart, onto your baking pan (on top of parchment paper). Try to keep them puffed up high versus flatted out or they will be really dense over fluffy.

Depending on how small you make them, they should be around 12-14 flaky, delicious biscuits total.

Bake for 12 minutes until biscuits are slightly browned. Serve warm with one of the many delicious toppings like melted butter, honey, or jam.

How to Store Leftover Buttermilk Biscuits.

I store mine in a tight Ziploc baggie and leave on the counter of the kitchen. Microwave for about 20 seconds to soften up and then add butter.

What to serve with Biscuits?

Spreading delicious toppings on biscuits is the best part!

• Jelly
• Jams (strawberry is my favorite)
• Honey
• Melted Butter or Butter spread
• Cinnamon Brown Sugar Butter
• Dip in gravy or smother in gravy
• Make up some strawberry sauce and turn your drop biscuits into strawberry shortcake!
