Easy Drop Biscuits

These biscuits are miraculously easy.  It is too hard for me to go through the process of making biscuits, rolling them out, cutting them, then baking them.  Especially when I have a little person that is convinced she needs to help with everything in the kitchen.  I came across this recipe in Real Simple Magazine... which if you have never read it, you are missing out.  They have some amazing recipes in there, but I digress.  So here is the recipe for the easiest and yummiest biscuits!

Easy Drop Biscuits

2 cups all purpose flour, spooned and leveled

1/2 cup softened unsalted butter; cubed

1 tablespoon baking powder

1tsp kosher salt

1 cup cold milk



Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. 

Mix together flour, butter, salt, and baking powder until pea sized clumps form.   Slowly mix in the milk until batter is moistened (Regina, that word usage was for you!).  The mix will still be lumpy, and that is okay!

Spoon 6 large mounds onto a baking sheet.  Bake until golden brown.  The recipe says 16-20 minutes, but if you make 8 smaller biscuits it only takes about 14 minutes to bake them through.  Just keep an eye on them so they don't burn!

Now, these biscuits are lumpy and not flat like the ones you would cut with a cookie cutter, but they are still quite delicious!
