Drop Biscuits *super EZ*
Life is hard; food doesn't have to be #144 [vol6, 6.4]
We made these biscuits several times this year for the masses at church. Scaling up to 100 or more at a time. I will never go back to using a pastry cutter for butter or rolling out dough. This method is so easy. Especially after making it once you gain confidence. Please try them.
Drop Biscuits
AP Flour 240g or 2cups
Baking powder 14g, 3 teaspoons, or 1 tablespoon
salt 7g or 1 teaspoon
sugar 4g or 1 teaspoon
butter, 1 stick, grated with a cheese grater
milk/kefir 2/3-1 cup
Measure dry ingredients into bowl then mix. Grate very cold butter (straight from fridge) into dry ingredients. Mix well. This can be done up to 48 hours in advance, maybe more.
When ready to make biscuits, add milk, buttermilk or kefir just until mixture sticks together and looks uniform. The amount of liquid depends on humidity. You’ll use less when it’s humid.
Be careful not to over mix.
Use a scooper (or just a spoon) to make uniform balls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Or plop dough balls on top of chicken pot pie just before baking.
Preheat oven to 400 and bake until golden. Start timer at 15 minutes then rotate pan. Check again in 5-7 minutes.
**OPTIONAL** USE SOME SOURDOUGH DISCARD IN WITH KEFIR
