Easy Buttermilk Drop Biscuits
Easy buttermilk drop biscuits made with simple ingredients. These homemade biscuits bake up tender with golden brown tops and require no rolling or cutting.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk - chilled
- ½ cup butter - melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoons butter - melted, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and place an oven rack in the center position.
- Melt the ½ cup butter and set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir the chilled buttermilk into the cooled melted butter.
- Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined. A shaggy dough will form. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Lightly grease a ¼ cup measuring cup. Scoop and drop the biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 11–13 minutes, until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with the remaining melted butter and serve warm.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough or the biscuits will be dense.
- Make sure the butter has cooled before mixing with the buttermilk.
- These biscuits are meant to be rustic drop biscuits, not cut biscuits.
- Best enjoyed warm, but leftovers reheat well.
