Step 3: Cut in the Butter
Take 1/2 cup (1 stick) of cold butter, cut into small cubes.
Add it to the flour and use your fingers, a fork, or a pastry cutter to mix until the texture looks like coarse crumbs.
💡 Tip: Work quickly so the butter stays cold—this is what creates soft, airy biscuits.
Step 4: Add the Milk
Pour in 3/4 to 1 cup of milk gradually.
Stir gently until a soft, sticky dough forms.
Do not overmix—the dough should look a bit rough and shaggy.
Step 5: Drop the Biscuits
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop portions of dough onto your prepared baking sheet.
Leave a little space between each biscuit.
No shaping needed—that’s the beauty of “drop” biscuits!
Step 6: Bake to Golden Perfection
Place the tray in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are beautifully golden.
Your kitchen will smell incredible at this point—warm, buttery, and comforting.
Step 7: Serve Warm
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Serve warm with:
- Butter
- Honey
- Jam
- Or alongside savory dishes like eggs, chicken, or soup
Grandmother’s Secret Tips
- Don’t overwork the dough — this keeps the biscuits tender.
- Cold butter is key — it creates steam pockets for fluffiness.
- Use buttermilk if possible — it adds a subtle tang and extra softness.
- Bake close together if you want softer sides; space them out for crispier edges.
