Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups full-fat buttermilk cold
10 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, divided

Instructions

Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Place the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
Place the buttermilk and 8 tablespoons of warm melted butter in a small bowl and stir until the butter forms small clumps and the mixture looks curdled (you should see bits of butter throughout). Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and stir gently with a rubber spatula just until the ingredients are incorporated and the mixture pulls away slightly from the edges of the bowl.
Using a greased 1/4-cup measure, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, 1 inch apart.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through, until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter. Serve warm.

Notes

Spraying the scoop or measuring cup with cooking spray will prevent the drop biscuit dough from sticking to the scoop while you portion out the biscuits.

How To Store & Reheat Drop Biscuits

Once your biscuits have cooled completely, transfer them to a sealed container or a resealable plastic bag. They can stay fresh and delicious at room temperature for a couple of days.

To reheat, simply place them on a baking sheet and pop them into a preheated 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they're heated through.

How Long Will Drop Biscuits Last In The Fridge?

If you need to keep your drop biscuits fresh for a bit longer, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. In the fridge, they will stay good for up to 4 days.

Can I Freeze Drop Homemade Biscuits?

Yes! After baking, allow them to cool completely to room temperature, then transfer them to an airtight container or resealable freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
