Buttermilk Drop Biscuits easy to make and almost fool proof! serenabakessimplyfromscratch.com

Whenever I make biscuits I almost always make Buttermilk Drop Biscuits. They are super easy to make and almost fool proof. I honesty love Drop Biscuits because I don't have to worry about the mess of rolling and they are super easy to make first thing in the morning. On most days I try to avoid a mess as much as possible.

Buttermilk Drop Biscuits make the perfect vessel for butter with jam or smothered in Sausage Gravy for Biscuits and Gravy. We had enjoyed them with Chicken Fried Steak for an easy breakfast, I will be posting the recipe later in the week! So good!

No matter how you enjoy them the simplicity is what makes these a go to recipe in my kitchen.

  2. Is there anyway to make this without using shortening? Thanks!

    1. Hi Carey! You could use additional butter or lard. Butter has more water, so it will change the texture slightly, but it will work. I hope that helps! Serena
