Easy Drop Biscuits are a simple, quick and easy biscuit recipe that comes together in about 15 minutes! These biscuits are perfect with gravy or a nice addition to any meal!
Drop Biscuits:
Drop biscuits are a staple recipe in my house! They go perfectly with almost any meal, but especially with our Best Sausage Gravy for breakfast or a big bowl of Homemade Tomato Soup! My recipe uses simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. We use flour, baking powder, melted butter, milk, and a few seasonings to pull these biscuits together in only 15 minutes or so. There are no special steps, and my favorite part is that we use melted butter rather than cold butter to keep these even easier!
What are Drop Biscuits?
Drop biscuits are a type of biscuit that is made from scratch! They are called “drop” because there is no rolling out or cutting of the dough. They are simply biscuit dough dropped onto the pan from a spoon and then baked. This makes them much faster and easier to make than traditional biscuits that are cut into circles/squares and rolled.
How To Make Easy Drop Biscuits:
- The first step is, of course, to preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a large baking sheet with either butter, non-stick spray, or parchment paper.
- Next, I like to go ahead and cut my stick of butter into cubes, then melt it in the microwave.
- While the butter is melting, I whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
- Then, add the milk and butter to the flour mixture and stir just until all of the flour is moistened.
- Drop the dough by heaping Tablespoons onto your prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-11 minutes until they are golden.
- Optional: If you choose you can brush these with extra melted butter right when they come out of the oven!
Enjoy!

I made these but mixed in cheddar cheese too. So yummy! Will definitely revisit this recipe!
I was making them ahead for some biscuits with sausage gravy in the morning and of course, I had to try one tonight and they are delicious! I have eaten two more tonight. I couldn’t help myself 😆. I anticipate making more batches in the near future.
Come together quickly and my family made them disappear just as quickly.
These are great biscuits and as stated easy! I had all the ingredients on hand and they cooked great with the texture you expect from drop biscuits. This is a perfect base you can omit the garlic, add cinnamon or honey to make a sweet snack or breakfast biscuit! Love it!
These are absolutely delicious. I always double the recipe so my family gets enough.
Quick and easy with minimal ingredients! Omit the garlic powder if you want these for breakfast. They are light and fluffy, and yummy with some homemade jam, and PERFECT for biscuits and gravy.
Your recipes are so good and easy
They taste just like bisquick drop biscuits!
Really nice biscuits though they tasted a little like hush puppies to me next time I’ll leave out the garlic thanks for the recipe h
