These Buttermilk Drop Biscuits are as easy as biscuit recipes come! With just 4 simple ingredients, you can make these biscuits in less than 30 minutes. No fancy shaping or rolling required, just mix the dough, drop it onto the baking sheet or cast-iron skillet and bake!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons salted butter (frozen)
  • 1 cup whole buttermilk (chilled)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Alternatively, you can preheat a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with a tablespoon of butter.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.

  3. 3

    Grate frozen butter into the flour mixture. Chill 10 minutes. 

  4. 4

    Pour buttermilk into the flour mixture. Gently fold until just combined. The dough should be sticky and wet, but do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Using a spoon or a large cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet or skillet, leaving a little space between each.

  6. 6

    Bake for 16-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet. Optional, brush with additional melted butter.
