Love the way it turned out
I added onion powder and shredded cheddar cheese! So delicious and quick to make. I did not bother to cut the butter in very long . The biscuits turned out light and fluffy with crispy, cheesy bottoms!
iI was craving biscuits this morning and had all of the ingredients for these and I did not have buttermilk, so these were perfect. They were delicious, and so easy! We really enjoyed them and I'm keeping this recipe very handy!
These were super simple to make and so yummy I had to control myself from eating all of them! I did make a couple changes though. I used room temperature margarine instead of butter, 1/2 cup soy milk due to dairy intolerance.
These are so easy and so delicious!
I love this recipe, so easy. Things I always have. I also add shredded mozzarella and garlic
I'm 51 been baking since I was 9. Making 3 ingredient drop biscuits at 14. Friends mom showed me in Alabama. To much milk I guessing ( added in small increments). Looked like piles of mashed potatoes. Wouldn't even brown ( on top anyway) I'm embarrassed. glad my wife sleeping, trying to surprise her with bib. I Always triple check measurements . You can Only mix once!! I rarely make mistakes. It comes easy to me . Signed what happened?
It tasted okay and it did taste like a biscuit but if you want it to not look flat and you want it to stay in peaks do less milk and also make sure you grease the pan
These turn out really nice. I did cut butter by 2tbs because of those complaining about to much of a buttery taste. Next time I will be using the whole half cup. They rised and brown beautifully and tasted awesome. A keeper for me.
way too runny.
I love this recipe. I use it all the time, just as it is. It's quick, easy, and everyone loves the results. Thanks for posting!
I used these biscuits as a topping for a pot pie in place of a traditional crust. It was a very good substitution and it came out great. It was quick and easy to make and then just drop on the filling and cook in the oven.
wonderful! :) first time I have made drop biscuits and this recipe was awesome however I did have to substitute the milk for water and I used maple sugar instead of white sugar because I was out of white sugar and still exactly what I was looking for
I made biscuits for the first time, using this recipe. These are absolutely the best biscuits I've ever had! My little family agrees. They insist on my fresh biscuits and gravy every weekend now. I back off on the butter by just a little. Only because it seams to melt out onto the pan quite a bit. Awesome recipe!
These are my favorite! They're easy and taste great! They work very well if your going camping by the way.
There’s something wrong with this recipe. The dough is soup.
I made these exactly as the recipe was written and they came out like cookies. They are too sweet and really flat. On a side note my 2 year old thinks they are cookies so she's pretty happy!
Very buttery but very tasty! I used unsalted butter but it really needed salted instead. Sprinkled a little kosher salt on top. Will definitely make again - great breakfast biscuit! Quick and easy.
I make these all the time, just as is. It's a wonderful biscuit base and I have had no trouble with them rising or being light, melt in your mouth. This recipe is super simple and perfect drop biscuits. I would recommend adding some fresh herbs to the mixture as well and enjoying savory biscuits. Delicious!
Exactly as titled... I decided to make breakfast for dinner in lieu of a run to the grocery store and didn't want to put a lot of effort into biscuits (one of those days)... to my surprise this recipe was perfect, I didn't have to add or subtract anything to make them work.. also, I appreciate not having to use shortening!
I made these, while half asleep (we had a terrible storm the night before, so i only got couple hours sleep.) I wasn't paying attention, and didn't do the dry ingredients and butter like i was supposed to, but just put it all together. I did add a bit more flour, but that is probably because I didn't do it right. Regardless, they did turn out flat (my fault) but tasted amazing with sausage gravy! It was only me, so I wasn't worried about appearance lol. Next time, I will do according to directions! They will be awesome then! Try them!
Pretty good. I cut the recipe in half and used 2% instead of whole milk. They were pretty good. Very easy. Only took me about 20 mins or so including baking.
I made these as written (flour was 240g for those that weigh) except I omitted the butter and only needed 8 oz milk. They were delicious with my bacon grease gravy. :)
Literally the best biscuits I have ever eaten. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I will never use another biscuit recipe.
These were pretty good biscuits and I loved the buttery flavor. While gradually adding the milk, it was starting to get to runny so I stopped just short of a cup. Besides that, I followed the recipe exactly and they were great! Another reviewer commented on them being to runny so she had to add more flour and they ended up to hard. That is probably because when she added more flour, she had to stir it more than needed. Mine were soft.
I was looking for a savory biscuit; added 1 cup shredded cheese, 1 tablespoon minced garlic and 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning. Turned out great! I don't buy milk so just used water.
These are great biscuits, easy, light and fluffy. We loved them.
I made it twice, the first time I followed the recipe and they stuck to the pan. The second time I mixed the soft butter into the flour mixture and added the milk last. It was easier to make with soft butter and didn't stick.
Fast and Easy and they were good. I used buttermilk instead of regular milk. Took others advice. 1 cup of milk and a little more sugar. My butter was frozen so that helped with the dicing of the butter. My baking powder is older so I added a little extra of that and the biscuits came out big moist and fluffy. Thanks Great Recipe A KEEPER. Will try with garlic and cheddar cheese next time. :)
10x better than store bought
These are really delicious and easy. However, the recipe calls for too much milk so I reduced it to about 3/4 of a cup. I also mix in chopped ham and shredded cheese for a change and they are amazing!
I made the recipe exactly as stated. My butter was frozen, so I grated it with the cheese grater and put the whole thing in my food processor slowly adding the milk. I was careful not to over mix. I patted out the biscuits and baked them. They were crunchy and delicious! I served them with Jimmy Dean sausage gravy and saved one for butter and honey. I will make this recipe again ! Easy and delicious. A winner!
These are the best biscuits EVER!! Very tender.
Just tried this one out today. It came out great. My boys loved it. I think I only used about 1 cup of milk, just an FYI. I gradually mixed it in just to be on the safe side. I'm making my third batch right now. Lol
Fantastic and light biscuits! I didn't have a whole half cup of butter so instead I used a half cup of butter flavored shortening, and although I'm sure that added more fat than necessary... they came out light and fluffy and perfect for butter and honey. My husband and two year old absolutely LOVED them! :)
these were the best biscuits for the cranberry sauce i made!
Aeesome recipe! Easy and delicious. I used skim milk and they still turned out well. Thanks!!!
Too much milk. I only used about 1 cup but it was already too late because they were too wet. Didn’t rise because they had too much milk.
Quick and easy to whip up a batch. My family love them, especially when I add garlic, herbs and cheese. I may try with cooked and crumbled bacon too
I’ve made this recipe twice. Once as written and these biscuits are perfect. The second time I split the flour - half white, half whole wheat. Again, quite delicious.
Great and very easy!
Delicious. May have to add a minute or two to baking time. Very buttery, so don’t need to serve with anything but jam or apple butter. Use a pan with a lip or the melting butter will drip into the oven.
Love it, super easy, and I already had all the Ingredients. Definitely my new favorite biscuit recipe!
Horrible! I should have read the negative reviews before trying this recipe. The ingredient amounts must be wrong, because I followed the recipe exactly (added some cheese) and ended up with a dough that was too runny. Against my better judgment, I didn't add more flour, and just thought perhaps they'd puff up in the oven. Wrong! They ended up as flat as pancakes, rubbery, and tasteless. My flour and baking powder were both fresh, so that couldn't have been the reason. I was very disappointed in this waste of time and ingredients.
Excellent recipe! I added a little garlic powder, onion powder and shredded cheddar cheese. Will be making this recipe often from now on!
Mine ended up flat but very tasty!
These biscuits are delicious and easy! I made these with my 3 year old son. He loved mixing and dropping them onto the pan. The biscuits turned out crunchy on the outside and soft and flaky on the inside. They were perfect! I substituted Splenda a for the sugar and used light butter and the flavor was still fantastic!
Followed the recipe and there is too much milk. My biscuits came out flat like pancakes (like another reviewer’s photo). I’ve made great drop biscuits before and thought this was the recipe I had used - will have to keep looking. NY Times recipe says 3/4 cup milk - that seems right.
These are THE BEST drop biscuits ever! They don't even need any extra butter slathered on because they have such a nice, buttery flavor already! They are very addicting! I made mine a little too small, so can't wait to make again, regular biscuit size. :)
very tasty!
Delicious! I think I will reduce cooking time to minimize bottom crispness.
too much milk, reduce by half.
Yes I have made these before & I have this down pat. 1/4 Cup per biscuit of Flour I've made only 2 b/c it's only me,instead of milk try beer I prefer Corona,also a Teaspoon of Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt makes them softer instead of butter per biscuit. Also a 1/2 teaspoon of Lemon Juice or any acid it interacts with the Baking Powder to make them rise a little more per biscuit.As for Baking Powder 1/4 teaspoon per biscuit.Any seasoning to taste like salt,Garlic Powder,Italian Seasoning,Cinnamon etc.If I use Cinnamon I like adding Raisins & drizzling with a icing glaze which you can make with Powdered Sugar & Milk or water or Orange Juice. I bake & cook alot.
I made these as is and they are very good! I can make this recipe into a savory one by forgoing the sugar and add things like cheddar cheese or any other savory ingredient. Honestly, it is very easy to make into sweet or savory. This will be a go to when in a pinch!
This is a perfect recipe for a basic biscuit. I added 1 cup cheddar cheese and two apples. It turned out fantastically.
Made this for me and my son for biscuits and gravy one time, wound up feeding the whole family. these are delicious!
These are awesome! Add some cheese and garlic.
Best every recipe! Super easy and super delicious. This is a huge favourite in our home.
Before I get into this review, I have to tell you that I am a bit of a biscuit snob. I want my biscuits to not only be light and fluffy but flavorful as well. A bit of crisp on the exterior doesn't hurt either. With that being said, these biscuits fell short in the flavor category. I found them to be quite bland in fact.
Very Good! Unfortunately I used an airbake pan that has no sides and liquid spilled onto the bottom of the oven. So they taste a little smoky. Not sure if it was too much milk like another reviewer said or if it was from the splash of vanilla that I added. Definitely trying again on a pan with sides!
Dont be scared by the bad reviews! They mustve done it wrong. From what I can tell, most complained about "not rising" well, theyre not supposed to! They are DROP Biscuits. The shape you drop on the sheet, is the exact shape you get at the end. Dont flatten or smoosh, drop a large spoonful plop and they'll be crispy on the bottom and top, and just-right in the middle. Due to all the complaints about lack of flavor, I sprinkled half my batch with salt & garlic powder before popping them in the oven. Those are GREAT, but the plain ones are good too. Because the point of biscuits is a vehicle for yummy toppings, right, so why would I want them to scream their own flavor? Theyre just good, super easy, quick things to put jelly or gravy or eggs or whatever on top of. I used whole wheat flour and they're delicious. Oh - and I agree with the other reviewers, the milk goes in 1/4 cup at a time, and when you have the right consistency of dough (like firm playdoh) then you stop pouring milk. Mine took a cup and a drop.
They didn’t rise but still tasted good.
I've made this a few times, and they've always turned out well. For those who found that the dough was too runny, the recipe does state to add the milk gradually. When it looks the right consistency, stop adding milk. I add some garlic powder, basil and oregano to spice them up. Thanks for the recipe!
You can never have enough butter, yummy. Made a batch for breakfast with an egg wash. Loved the crunchy crust and soft biscuit. Loved the ease of the mix and drop.
The batter was runny and did not do well with adding additional flour...will not make again.
Used frozen grated butter and worked even better!
I grew up on these biscuits. They are just like we use to make as kids. I found this recipe specifically to use as a pot pie topping and it was perfect!
My kids love these. First I started doubling the recipe (but not the salt). Now I have to triple the recipe to feed my family of 7.
Made recipe as written. Perfect biscuits!
These turned out great! They were super easy to make and delicious! Super moist on the inside and a perfect consistency. I did, however, cut the time down to 10 minutes. I think they would have been too hard had I left them in longer. Mmmm... perfect with our country bacon gravy and egg breakfast!!!
I needed a quick easy recipe. This was quick and very easy. But way to much milk. I only added half a cup of milk
Will use again but I definitely appreciated the tips in the comments & used slightly less milk than the recipe calls for.
Easy and delicious. Agree with others that it doesn't need 1 1/4 cups milk: just under a cup was plenty.
I substitute 2% milk and 1/4 cup of buttermilk for some of the milk; I use double-acting baking powder; I use only 1/2 T of sugar, and they came out AMAZING!!! They rise up all buttery, proud, and high! I use them as side biscuits, toppers on upside-down egg frittatas, dumplings in the crock, etc. They are so versatile, and all 4 of my sons and my husband asks for them all the time. They are a staple in our home. Thanks!!!
So simple to made and they were AMAZING!
I batched and a halfed it. Didn’t have whole milk but just used 2%. Turned out great, could have used five more min in the oven .
I added 2 tbsp of flour and baked @ 400° for 15 min. *all food taste better with minimum ingredients!
I don't know how these came out runny or flat for anyone. The flour/liquid ratio was fine for me. I did add flavour, though. Garlic & onion powders and some fresh chives. They were quite good.
very good and easy to make
So easy to make and very delicious - I added chopped walnuts, raisin and chocolate chips - my kids will love them! The recipe is not funny at all unless one measures the ingredients wrong. And make sure full fat milk is used.
Delicious biscuits. Used one cup of liquids; a mix of sweet plain soy milk, half and half and omitted the sugar.
I agree with most that this recipe seems runny. What I actually do is use a small Pyrex and coat it generously with Pam. Then I drop the biscuits and spray one at a time with more Pam. Yes they touch but the Pam later in between actually separates them in the oven. Then I do one last little spray of Pam on top before oven. It bakes for about 20-25 minutes and they turn out with nice crispy edges and a bit square. Which I prefer for my sausage gravy. Of course you can drop them into a cookie sheet and keep separate but I’d still add some Pam on top for that amazing golden crisp!
I made it as written. I'm terrible at regular biscuits, but these are so easy and so good, my seven year old did most of the mixing, and they were quite delicate.
The recipe has a good flavor, but there is wwwaaayyy too much milk for biscuits. Probably make a good pancake recipe, but this is not for biscuits.
I used this recipe as drop dumplings for chicken stew and they turned out fabulous! They were fluffy and really tasty. I used low fat milk instead of whole and it still worked well. I'm going to have to make them as regular biscuits next time.
These are great. I stumbled upon them one sunday morning when I realized we were out of eggs! Won't be buying store bought biscuits anymore!
Wanted biscuits and gravy but didn't have time to make any other biscuit. The whole family loved these. Definitely a keeper.
Delicious and easy! I'll make them again.
These turned out terrible. They had no flavor at all and a little too salty.
These biscuits are really yummy. I added grated cheese and ham to mine an they went fast. Yummy
Very easy to make! Buttery, fast, and delicious. I used my fingers to mix the butter and flour mixture, and it still came out beautifully. Perfect biscuits for soup and stews!
Easy and came out perfectly, not sure how anyone could mess these up?
Super easy recipe! Followed directions. I dropped into muffin tins, I love having a “well” for the butter to melt in. Yum, enjoyed!
Quick, East, deliciousness!!
When this recipe is followed precisely these are pancakes not biscuits. Will not be making again.
These were truly some of the best biscuits I have ever tasted! They were light and fluffy with a crispy outer layer. I followed the directions exactly.
I would add a little more sugar next time and I always bake a 350 I find it unnessisary to bake anything higher then that takes longer tastes better
Awesome, just like grandpa made
I halved the recipe to make six biscuits. I used skim milk instead of whole milk; otherwise, I followed the recipe. The biscuits turned out delicious.
