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!

Super easy. I ended up with 8 large biscuits, I weighed them so they averaged 65 grams before I popped them in the oven. I doubled the baking time. The garlic powder definitely came through. I would actual double the amount of salt in the batter. Using them for sausage gravy and biscuits, and these are definitely going to work perfectly.
Whipped these up and had it with gumbo. It was absolutely perfect. What a fantastic quick recipe!
Way better than my other drop recipe. Wow!
A couple of days ago I made a pot of soup and really wanted some biscuits to have with it. Additionally, I did NOT want to leave my house for any ingredients I did not already have in my pantry. I stumbled on this recipe and first loved the simplicity of it. Then when we tasted the biscuit it was wonderful! My wife and I inhaled them. Safe to say, these will land in regular rotation, especially when I’m feeling lazy and still want something that tastes really good.
