I love drop biscuits. They were my mothers go-to whenever it came to quick breakfasts or easy sides. Most people serve pasta or rice, my mother served drop biscuits. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve eaten these with a side of scrambled eggs as a start to my day or even as dinner. When you’re sick and you can’t stomach much, you get biscuits (or cream of wheat). When you’re in a rush for breakfast, you get biscuits. Basically biscuits were the panacea for all occasions in our house.

Instructions

  1. Small 109600 2f2015 06 27 113217 img 6793

    Combine your dry ingredients and your butter in your food processor until it becomes a crumbly dough almost like sand.

  2. Small 109600 2f2015 06 27 113230 img 6799

    Then place that into a bowl and add in your buttermilk until your dough becomes less “sticky” and more “shaggy”.

  3. Small 109600 2f2015 06 27 113241 img 6807

    Then scoop out your dough onto a cookie sheet and bake for 15-20 (depending on how big your biscuits are) )minutes at 400 F. Our oven is so crappy that I cooked them about ten minutes then turned the pan.
