These drop biscuits have a higher ratio of butter and milk to flour than other cut out biscuits, which yield a sticky dough. Once the wet ingredients are pulsed into the dry, we simply scoop drops of dough onto a baking sheet and bake. The result is a coarsely textured, golden biscuit with a tender, buttery crumb.

Ingredients

Dill-Caper Butter:

Sweet Curry Butter:

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a food processor. Pulse to combine. Pulse in the butter just a few times, until it is in pea-size pieces. Add the milk and pulse just until the dough comes together.
  2. Scoop 1/4 cupfuls of dough with a cup measure or ice cream scoop onto the baking sheet (about 10 scoops). Brush the tops lightly with milk. Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
