These easy drop biscuits are done in a flash, no rolling or kneading required, just about 15-20 minutes from start to finish! The recipe is as easy as mixing 5 ingredients, popping them in a muffin tin and baking for 10 minutes. You get tender and buttery biscuits with a little crisp to the outside.
This recipe will make 12 biscuits.
These drop biscuits make a great accompaniment to this recipe for Chicken and Biscuits.

Ingredients

How to Make Easy Drop Biscuits
This is NOT an overly complicated or difficult recipe. Even if you do not consider yourself a “baker” you can successfully make these biscuits!
Start by preheating your oven to 450 degrees. Also prep a muffin tin by greasing the cups with spray or oil. You can also drop these onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a bowl of a stand mixer (you can also use a hand mixer), sift together the 2 cups flour and 2 ½ teaspoon baking powder. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1 cup milk, and ¼ cup butter that has been cut into smaller pea sized pieces.
Using the paddle attachment (or beaters of a hand mixer) blend together the dough just until it comes together. Overmixing will cause your biscuits to be tough.
With wet hands or a spoon (the dough will be sticky), drop the dough into your muffin tin. It should make about 12 small/medium drop biscuits.
Bake for 10 minutes. Using a fork pop the biscuits out of the muffin tin and cool for a minute or two, then serve!
