Special and Easy Drop Biscuits: the old faithful recipe [egg-free]
Easy drop biscuits, fluffy, flaky, buttery and golden brown. Pair with a dinnertime favorite like creamy herb chicken, or serve with sweet jam for breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cold milk
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup melted butter*
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F, and line a pan with parchment.
- In a 2 cup measuring glass, pour in the milk and 1 teaspoon of vinegar. Set aside to curdle, this is your DIY buttermilk. Alternatively use actual buttermilk if you have it.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients: Flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until mixed well. Set aside.
- Pour melted butter into the 2 cup measuring device while quickly stirring at the same time. You will be able to see small bits of butter re-solidifying. This is what you want! **
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix gently until combined. Try not to overmix.
- Grease the inside of a 1/4 cup measuring cup, and use it to scoop out biscuit dough, then drop onto pan. You could also use a regular spoon but this makes them uniform and cook evenly.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, until tops are golden brown and inside is cooked through.
- Lather the tops with butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
