    How to Make Buttermilk Bliss Drop Biscuits

    1. Prepare Oven and Baking Sheet

    Adjust your oven rack to the middle position and preheat your oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

    2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.

    3. Combine Buttermilk and Butter

    In a medium bowl, combine the chilled buttermilk with the 8 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir until the butter forms small clumps.

    4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and use a rubber spatula to gently stir until everything is just combined. The batter should pull away from the sides of the bowl and look clumpy.

    5. Form Biscuits

    Using a greased ¼-cup measure, scoop up the batter and drop it onto the prepared baking sheet. Each biscuit should be about 2¼ inches in diameter and 1¼ inches high. Space them about 1.5 inches apart.

    6. Bake Biscuits

    Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and crisp on the outside.

    7. Brush with Butter

    As soon as they’re done, brush the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter and transfer them to a wire rack to cool for about 5 minutes.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Use Cold Ingredients

    For flaky biscuits, ensure your butter and buttermilk are very cold. This prevents the fat from blending too much into the flour, creating steam pockets as the biscuits bake, which leads to a flakier texture.

    Do Not Overmix

    When incorporating the buttermilk, mix until just combined. Overworking the dough will develop gluten and make your biscuits tough rather than tender.

    Check Your Leaveners

    Ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh. Expired leaveners can lead to flat biscuits.

    Irregular Shapes are Fine

    Drop biscuits are meant to be rustic, so don't worry about shaping them perfectly. The uneven edges will crisp up beautifully and give each biscuit its own character.

    Preheating Is Key

    Make sure your oven is fully preheated to the correct temperature before baking for even cooking.
