Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, thyme, rosemary, or dill
  • 7 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup well chilled whole milk

How To Make drop biscuits

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Step 2
    Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and fresh herbs in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until it resembles crumbles with pea-sized pieces of butter.
  • Step 3
    Slowly stir in the milk. The dough will be sticky and shaggy. Using a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop, place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Step 4
    Bake for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown. After a few minutes cooling on the baking tray transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool.
