Buttery Drop Biscuits🥗 Side
These effortless spoonfuls of biscuit dough, served piping hot and glistening with a buttery finish, have won over everyone at my table.
By Priya Patel, Recipe Curator
The best side dishes do not just fill space on the plate — they earn their spot. This buttery drop biscuits is exactly that kind of recipe: simple enough to make on a busy weeknight, flavorful enough to hold its own next to any main course, and satisfying in a way that makes you reach for seconds.
This recipe comes together quickly, but do not rush the early steps. Taking a moment to prep and organize your ingredients before you start cooking — the classic mise en place — makes the whole process smoother and more enjoyable.
This pairs well with almost any protein, from a simple roasted chicken to grilled steak or baked salmon. Make extra — it reheats well and having a ready-made side dish in the fridge makes weeknight cooking significantly easier.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

- 1 cup milk (plus more as needed)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Grate the butter and dump it into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a fork to mix in the cold butter pieces until the mixture resembles a coarse meal with little pea size or smaller lumps throughout.
- Gradually stir in milk – do not dump all the milk in at once! Add just enough milk until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. It should still look somewhat dry and be a bit sticky.
- Scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes in the preheated oven, until the biscuits are golden brown.
