BEST EVER DROP BISCUITS (SMALL BATCH)
Drop biscuits are best the same day they are made...no comparison!!! Perfect for 4 people. When you stir slightly cooled melted butter into cold buttermilk, the butter will clump. Although this might look like a mistake, it's one of the secrets to this recipe. You can double the recipe...if needed!

Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in large bowl. Combine buttermilk and 1/4 cup melted butter in medium bowl, stirring until butter forms small clumps.
- Add buttermilk mixture to dry ingredients and stir with rubber spatula until just incorporated and batter pulls away from sides of bowl.
- Using greased 1/4-cup dry measure, scoop a scant amount of batter and drop onto parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining batter, spacing biscuits about 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake until tops are golden brown and crisp, 8 - 12 minutes. They can be made up ahead of time and gently re-heated in a 300 oven for 10 minutes.
- Brush biscuit tops with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Transfer to wire rack and let cool 5 minutes before serving.
- Test if baking powder is fresh: Mix 2 teaspoons of the baking powder into a cup of water. If there is an immediate reaction of foaming and fizzing, the baking powder is okay to use. If the reaction is at all delayed or weak, throw it away and buy a fresh can.

DROP BISCUITS
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.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425Ëš.
- Sift dry ingredients together into food processor. Pulse to blend. Add cold butter and pulse several times, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Turn mixture out into mixing bowl.
- Combine sweet potato, yogurt and sugar or agave nectar in processor and run for several seconds to blend thoroughly.
- Add sweet potato mixture to flour mixture and stir together briefly, just until all flour is incorporated and dough forms a ball. (Mixture may be sticky.) Do not overwork the dough.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop-either ½ or ¼ cup capacity-scoop uniform mounds onto sheets. You can get 5 large or 10 small biscuits onto each cookie sheet.
- Bake until biscuits are set and just start to brown: about 20 minutes for large and 15 minutes for the small size.
- These are best served hot (with butter if desired). They can be reheated on a baking sheet for 5 minutes at 400Ëš: good as new.
- * Use 2 small-to-medium sweet potatoes baked whole for 1 hour at 375Ëš and scooped out. I also made this w/ 1 giant sweet potato (1 1/4 cup): excellent! Very sticky batter, but biscuits were light, moist and nicely peppery.
- Makes about 12 medium or 24 small (bite size) biscuits.
Tips:
- Follow the recipe carefully: Baking is a science, and following the recipe precisely is essential for success. Ensure you measure ingredients accurately and follow the instructions step-by-step.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will significantly impact the final product. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible, and avoid using expired or stale ingredients.
- Pay attention to the temperature of your ingredients: Some recipes require specific ingredient temperatures, such as cold butter or room temperature eggs. Make sure your ingredients are at the correct temperature before starting the recipe.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can result in tough, dense biscuits. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined, and avoid overworking it.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: A hot oven is essential for creating light, fluffy biscuits. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before baking the biscuits.
- Serve the biscuits warm: Biscuits are best served warm, straight out of the oven. Enjoy them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, honey, or jam.
Conclusion:
With the right ingredients, careful preparation, and a hot oven, you can create delicious, fluffy drop biscuits that are perfect for any occasion. Experiment with different flavors and toppings to find your favorite combinations and enjoy the satisfaction of baking homemade biscuits from scratch.
