skillet bread
(1 rating)
There are lots of recipes for "skillet bread" floating around out there, but I decided to just use my own trusty, tried and true, drop biscuit recipe for the batter. My family loves those biscuits because they are so light and fluffy and never dry and crumbly. I hoped the skillet bread would be the same and it was!(You can see in the picture I took of a wedge of this bread what the texture is like.) A big hit and easier than making individual biscuits! The one bite i tried made me wish I wasn't wheat-sensitive and could butter up a whole slice for myself!
