Easy Drop Biscuits Recipe
This easy drop biscuit recipe is my absolute favorite. It is the perfect weeknight recipe, as these can be made while your main dish is cooking! They are super versatile and substitutions are welcome!
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper, freshly ground
- 2/3 cup Sour Cream, chilled (Greek yogurt will also work well)
- 1/2 cup Milk, chilled (I use 2%)
- 1/4 cup Butter, melted & cooled, plus more for brushing on biscuits (I use Salted Butter in everything I make)
- 3 tbsp Chives or Scallions, minced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. In a medium mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Whisk until no lumps remain.
- Add sour cream, milk, and melted butter. Mix just until very sticky dough comes together.
- Add sliced chives and fold together until combined.
- Using two spoons, drop 1/4 cup sized balls of dough onto a greased baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
- Bake biscuits for about 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and brush tops with melted butter. Place biscuits back in oven and continue baking for another 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown. Allow biscuits to cool slightly before serving.
Cook's Notes
If you don't have sour cream on hand, don't worry. I have tested this recipe with Greek Yogurt and it worked perfectly! So much so I almost renamed them Greek Yogurt Drop Biscuits!
I love to add cheddar to just about everything and it is delicious in these biscuits as well. Shallots work beautifully here too. Have fun with this drop biscuit recipe - it's a keeper!
