Drop everything! It's time to bake some warm, golden drop biscuits. This five-ingredient recipe comes together in less than 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add the cream and stir just until the batter is moistened. Editor's Tip: Don't overstir once you add the cream, or you risk overdeveloping the gluten in the flour. Overmixed biscuits can turn out tough and dense.
Drop the batter by 1/4 cupfuls, 1 inch apart, onto greased baking sheets. Bake them in the preheated oven until the biscuit bottoms are golden brown, 17 to 20 minutes. Serve the drop biscuits warm. Editor's Tip: If you don't serve your biscuits right away, transfer them to a wire rack after five minutes or so. If they stay on the hot baking sheet too long, the residual heat and steam can soften the bottoms of the biscuits, turning your nice, firm bottoms into soft, soggy ones.
