Homemade Drop Biscuits

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to distribute the ingredients evenly.

3. Cut in the Butter

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Add Milk and Form Dough

Pour the milk into the flour-butter mixture. Gently stir with a spoon until just combined. The dough should be sticky and not overworked.

5. Drop Biscuits onto Baking Sheet

Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.

6. Bake the Biscuits

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the top. Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
