How to Prepare Buttermilk Drop Biscuits
This section provides detailed images and instructions for making buttermilk biscuits. The complete recipe is outlined below.
Step 1: Position the oven rack in the middle and preheat the oven to 475°F. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with silicone mats. Set aside.
Step 2: In a large, microwave-safe bowl, heat the butter in the microwave until it is about 90% melted.
Stir until fully melted.
Step 3: Allow the melted butter to cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 4: Incorporate the cold buttermilk by whisking. The butter should form clumps.
Step 5: Mix in the dry ingredients. Whisk until combined, avoiding overmixing to prevent dense biscuits.
Step 6: Using a ¼-cup scoop, place dollops of the biscuit dough approximately 2 to 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7: Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until they turn a light golden brown.
Step 8: For extra buttery biscuits, brush the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
Step 9: Move the baking sheet to a wire rack and allow the biscuits to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
