Quick and Easy Drop Biscuits

April 25, 2019

This is the perfect recipe to use when one is in a hurry and does not have time to make a biscuit which has to be rolled out and cut. These can be prepared and baked in 25 minutes or less and taste just as good as any other biscuit. I made these on Easter morning and was thrilled with the result! The Farmer got involved too and sifted while I prepared the butter and milk. I love working along side of him and how willing he was to jump in and help on a busy morning.

After baking for about 10 minutes, (the key is to NOT overbake!) I placed the finished biscuits into a basket lined with a tea towel and kept them covered until ready to serve. This will help to lock in the moisture to ensure you are left with a soft biscuit. I paired them with our wild violet jelly and they were delicious!

I had never made drop biscuits before so I wasn’t completely confident they would turn out, but as soon as Farmer Boy tasted one, he looked at me and said, “I knew they would be good, mom.” How I love that sweet, tenderhearted little boy and the way he so innocently carries in himself a constant confidence in his mama. These biscuits would also be wonderful topped with fresh gravy and served with scrambled eggs at breakfast. I hope you and yours will enjoy this little taste of comfort around your own family table as well.
