Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup butter (cold)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or swap white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour*)
1 tablespoon baking powder (I recommend aluminum free)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup whole milk (or buttermilk)
3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (I used nonfat)
1 teaspoon honey
Grated parmesan and finely chopped fresh chives (try adding a pinch of garlic powder to the dry ingredients with this one!)
Shredded sharp cheddar and ground black pepper
Shredded gruyere and finely chopped fresh rosemary or thyme

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Dice the butter into small pieces and place it in the freezer while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. (If adding any herbs, garlic powder, or black pepper, do it here.)
  • Scatter the cold butter pieces over the top. With a pastry blender (or my favorite, your fingers), cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Some pieces may be the size of small pebbles and others as large as peas.
  • In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, and honey until smoothly combined. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients a little at a time, stirring lightly between additions. (If adding cheese, add it slowly as you add the milk.) Stop stirring as soon as the dough holds together. It will be very moist and seem wet.
  • Drop the batter by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. I like to use a muffin scoop for this-you'll have 9 large or 12(ish) more moderately sized biscuits total. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until the tops are golden and spring back lightly when touched. Enjoy warm.

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 heaping tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch of garlic powder
1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter, cold, cut into small pieces, plus 2 tablespoons, melted, for brushing
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
3/4 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Put the flour, baking powder, salt and garlic powder in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the cold butter and pulse until the dry ingredients and the butter are mostly combined. (If you do not have a food processor, this can be done with a pastry cutter.)
  • Add the Parmesan, parsley, oregano and thyme. Drizzle in the milk and pulse (or stir in with a wooden spoon) until the mixture has just turned into a dough. Be careful not to overmix, as the biscuits will become tough when baked if you do.
  • Using 2 large spoons, drop 1/2-cup sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. This will make 6 generously sized biscuits.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes, depending on your oven. Brush the warm biscuits with the melted butter. Enjoy!

DROP BISCUITS



Drop Biscuits image

Drop biscuits are heavenly, and considering how little work they are to put together, they're also a real kitchen miracle. A few pantry staples and a hot oven are all you need for crunchy golden biscuits with soft interiors. They are excellent on their own, but a bit of butter and jam doesn't hurt either. Once you've nailed the basic version, try stirring in some cracked black pepper and Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely chopped tender herbs or chocolate chips.

Time 30m

Yield 8 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
10 tablespoons/141 grams cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
3/4 cup whole milk, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons, if needed

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it is the texture of coarse meal with some pea-size pieces.
  • Using a fork, stir in the milk until just evenly moistened, adding up to 2 more tablespoons, if necessary, but stopping before the dough gets too wet. Scoop the dough into 8 rough mounds (about 1/3-cup each) and place them on the prepared sheets. Bake the biscuits until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Cooking spray
4 tablespoons vegetable shortening
2 cups self-rising flour (see Note), plus more for dusting
3/4 cup buttermilk, well shaken

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Using a pastry blender or two table knives, cut the shortening into the flour until it resembles coarse meal. Use a fork to stir in the buttermilk to make a soft dough, or until the dough comes together and leaves the sides of the bowl. Continue stirring with the fork until all the flour is worked into the dough, then turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead 3 or 4 times until smooth and manageable.
  • With your hands or floured rolling pin, flatten the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Cut the dough with a 2 1/2-inch floured biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits in the cake round 1 inch apart for crisp biscuits or almost touching for softer biscuits. Bake until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.

I tell you what, i never went without a breakfast before school when i was a teenager thanks to my dad. But i swear until he got this recipe down pat!

Tips:

  • Chilling the dough before baking: This helps the biscuits to rise higher and be more tender.
  • Use cold butter: This also helps the biscuits to rise higher and be more flaky.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
  • Drop the dough onto the baking sheet: Don't roll it out, as this will also make the biscuits tough.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: This will help them to rise quickly and be crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Dad's Drop Biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make Southern comfort food. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these fluffy, buttery biscuits that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
