Southern Drop Biscuits
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C)
Grease your pan as well.
-
Dry mix
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together. If you want to add any herbs or spices you can add them here.
-
Add butter
Add the pieces of cold butter and cut into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or fork until the consistency of coarse meal. If you want to add any cheeses or other add-ins you can stir them in here before adding the milk.
-
Add milk combined with yogurt
Add the milk and yogurt and stir just until combined. You can use any milk you like or buttermilk if you want a tangy flavor. If the batter is very dry, add a little more milk if needed until the consistency of a very thick batter. Do not over-mix. The batter will be quite lumpy.
-
Prep to bake
Drop large mounds (about 1/4 cup each) onto a greased baking sheet. You can also use a cast iron skillet that has been greased with butter.
-
Bake
Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 18-22 minutes until golden brown.
-
Serve immediately
Biscuits are best served hot! Smother liberally with butter and jelly or sausage gravy. Serve with fried eggs, coffee, and a copy of the local Pennysaver.
