Drop Biscuits

Biscuits

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper; alternatively, grease the baking sheet with butter.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Toss butter into dry ingredients until coated with flour. Working quickly, using your fingers or a pastry blender, rub or cut butter into flour until it resembles coarse meal. Alternatively, add flour mixture and butter to the bowl of a food processor and pulse 2 to 3 times to form pea-sized pieces; transfer to a large bowl.
• Add milk and stir with a fork until the mixture just comes together into a slightly sticky, shaggy dough.
• Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to mound balls of dough onto prepared baking sheet.
• Bake biscuits until golden brown, about 20 minutes for large ones. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
