Wonderful Recipe…..Thanks Angela!
-
grrreat! easy, no mess.
-
These are very quick & easy biscuits. I normally keep Bisquick on hand to make a quick batch of drop biscuits, but this recipe will do in a pinch.
-
I adapted this recipe using skim milk and light margarine and it works great. Thanks Angela
-
Wonderful, light, airy, delicious biscuits! This recipe works very well with soy milk. This is the newest addition to my recipe collection and I definitely recommend it to anyone who needs a great drop recipe, in a pinch!
-
My whole family liked these. Quick, easy and delicious!
-
Very easy and quick to make. Yummy, a real hit with the hubby and kids. I will save this recipe and make again. Thanks for posting it 🙂
-
A great addition to any meal.
Easy and I always have these basic ingredients on hand.
-
I needed something quick, and quick these were! Extremely easy to make, but a tad on the bland side. Slathered in butter they were rather enjoyable. I did love that they only took 2 minutes to make, which means I will surely make them again when pressed for time.
-
These certainly were quick and easy, but they were pretty bland for having so much butter in them. Not worth the calories for me.
-
These were excellent! So easy and all the ingredients on hand. I served with sausage gravy and it was a hit! Thank you Angela.
-
I like these because I dislike to roll out biscuit dough. These are so much less time consuming. Sometimes I mix in garlic, cheese, or spices before I drop them on the baking sheet.
-
This was very easy to make. I did add cheese and it tasted wonderful. I will make this again since my picky eaters even liked them! Thanks for a great easy recipe.
-
This is a very quick and easy drop biscuit recipe. The texture of these biscuits is light and flaky and they have a nice buttery flavor. I have added cheese and spices and they are delicious. I made this when I didn’t have any Bisquick on hand, and now I don’t see any need to ever buy biscuit mix again. Great recipe!
-
like it says, quick and easy. good mixed with grated cheese and garlic.
-
These are the best biscuits I have ever made! They are delicious as well as easy to make! I am looking forward to the other suggestions of adding cheddar cheese to the recipe! I didn’t have to change or alter the recipe at all.
-
Easy and delicious!
-
I thought these were a little bland but overall pretty good.
-
Rich, moist, and tender with hardly any effort at all. A great hit with my family!!! Absolutely one of the best biscuits we’ve ever had at home.
-
I just made these and they are wonderful! They are light, flaky and delicious! I added a little cheddar cheese. I have never made biscuits with such a good texture before! Thanks!
-
These E-Z drop biscuits are so fast and easy, they taste better than the ones you can buy in a store. They are the perfect size for my kids, and made a wonderful start to our day.
-
Light, tender, flaky…and so QUICK to make!! These are YUMMY biscuits, and the easy preparation is great for busy mornings when I’m trying to get my family out the door!! Put an egg or slice of sausage in there, and you have a cheap, delicious biscuit that rivals any restaurant!! I made mine twice as big as the recipe calls for, and they turned out great. They do fall apart a little, so you have to handle them carefully. But, you get to skip all the kneading, cutting, and MESS!! Thanks, Angela, for this great recipe!!
-
Great tasting; moist! I added a little more milk with great results, just for a more drop-biscuit-like consistency! Yummy!
-
Easy biscuit. The kids weren’t crazy about them thou.
-
I used whole wheat flour, and they turned out very good. They were very light, fluffy, and moist. I will make these more often.
-
These are so fast and easy to make. They’re very good; I think my husband ate 4 of them. I served them over a creamed chicken gravy with vegetables. It made a delicious one dish meal!
-
Great recipe for quick and easy breakfast hits. i served them with home made honeybutter..fabulous!!
-
These biscuits are quick, easy, and delicious! I added a big handful of cheedar cheese.
-
I was very pleasantly surprised by this recipe! They were so simple, I didn’t think they’d be all that great, but they were! Wonderful texture, very tender. Took less than 5 minutes to whip up. Used skim milk and half whole wheat pastry flour. I’ve been looking for an easy recipe without shortening, and I’ve found a great one!
-
Great recipe!! Very easy. Worked well with spelt flour and soy milk.(use less liquid if using spelt flour) Will make many more times. Next time I’ll try with cheese. Thanks Angela.
-
I REALLY DIDNT LIKE THESE, BUT I THINK IT MAY HAVE BEEN MY FAULT. I THINK I MIXED THE DOUGH TOO MUCH AND THEY CAME OUT KINDA CRUNCHY. I WILL TRY AGAIN AND SEE IF I HAVE BETTER RESULTS.
-
Double the recipe, and make your biscuits bigger, at least 3 times what the recipe calls for, then you have excellent biscuits!!! Best eaten the same day!
-
I would give this recipe 10 stars if I could. Just wonderful. My four children and husband really enjoyed them. I will be using this recipe for Strawberry Shortcakes..=) I made them with whole wheat flour and they turned out so good. I did add a tad extra milk. It seems baking with whole wheat it is hard to get a tenderness/flakey texture like this without adding part white flour. Not this recipe…YUM!! Thank you!
-
My husband and daughter love them and they are very quick and easy. Just like my grandmother used to make.
-
This one is a keeper! Wonderful, light and fluffy. I made these with skim milk. I halved the recipe, scooped a heaping tablespoons of dough onto a covered sheet sprayed with cooking spray, popped them in the convection toaster oven, and about 9 minutes later had these delicious biscuits. It took all of maybe 2 minutes to whip together. Fabulous!
-
This is a great biscuit all the way around. Easy to make and simple too. I have also made these by putting all the dough on my baking stone and spreading out….topped with sausage and cheese and baked. Absolutely wonderful. The only thing I changed with the ingredients is that I added more salt. I added about an extra 1/2 teaspoon.
This recipe will be a keeper in our home :o) Thanks for sharing. -
Mine didn’t rise much and I thought they were a bit bland. Maybe, I over-mixed but I only did so until everything was blended.
-
These were good. I didn’t melt the butter, though. Instead, I mixed room temp butter into the flour mixture with a fork until it resembled little grains. Then I stirred in the milk. Gives it a better texture.
Also, these are *really* good if you mix in about a cup of shredded cheddar cheese — just like the ones made at a famous seafood restaurant. Yum! -
We didn’t like these. They turned out flat and hard.
-
Reading other people’s reviews, I added more salt and they came out fine. I also made them with light butter and skim milk. In fact, I had made them to go with gravy before I realized I didn’t have all of the ingredients. So, I made the gravy the next day and reheated the biscuits. They were still really great!
-
This was really delicious! my family left NO leftovers!
-
Just what I wanted…nothing spectacular or time consuming, just good easy biscuits.
-
These were good. I used an unsalted stick of butter and added 1/2 tsp of salt, next time i will increase the salt a little more. Overall very good. I did have any issues with consitency etc. These were good and very easy to make. Thanks.
-
Super, super easy to do. Have made it with and without ww flour, and I find it tastes better without. I don’t put in the tartar as it isn’t something I normally have. I use my hands to mix as well. Adding in cheese, garlic and italian herbs topped with some melted garlic butter…AWESOME Or just as good plain with honey butter on it. YUMMMY!!
-
Very good, easy no frills drop biscuit recipe that I am using to replace my current Betty Crocker recipe. I did not have cream of tartar, so I omitted it. I used country crock instead of butter, and didn’t melt it first; instead, I simply cut the butter in with the flour until it had the consistency of coarse crumbs. Summary- don’t avoid this recipe just because you don’t have the cream of tartar, and you don’t need to trouble yourself with melting the butter. :o) Thanks, Angela!
-
Incredibly bland. Maybe the recipe should specify salted butter, if that’s what it requires. I used unsalted, which is what I always use, and thought they were way too bland and flavorless. If I make it again, I’ll either use salted butter or increase the salt.
-
These turned out just like my mom used to make….but even better….we have ours with syurp or apple butter on them. Better than the Betty Crocker recipe.
-
Wonderfully tender, slightly sweet and simple biscuits. I doubled the sugar since we like our biscuits a little sweeter and used whole wheat flour, but those were my only modifications. We loved them. Thanks so much for this recipe. It’s a keeper!
-
These biscuits are tender and tasty. As advised I left out the cream of tarter. Also, I made these with freshly ground whole wheat pastry flour and used sucanat with honey instead of white sugar. I will definitely be making these again.
-
These bisciuts were excellent! They were light and flaky just like a rolled biscuit but so much easier–I onmitted the tartar like others did and they turned out great. I made them to go with soup for dinner, but they would be just as delicious with butter and jam for breakfast. They will be made (and eaten!) regularly in our house.
-
These are the BEST! They are super easy to make and taste great!!!
-
I’ve been looking for a biscuit recipe that doesn’t use hardened shortening/butter…as my daughter doesn’t tolerate dairy or soy and we have to use oil for everything. Thanks for the awesome recipe! It’s so forgiving, as I made many changes. I used half whole wheat flour and half ap flour; accidentally doubled the sugar; left out the cream of tartar; used 1 teaspoon salt (since I was not using butter); used olive oil instead of butter; used rice milk instead of milk. They turned out tender and delicious. Thanks so much for sharing!
-
This wasn’t the worst biscuits I’ve ever made, but not the best either. They were just ok.
-
These are very simple and easy to make, especially if you’re crunched for time. If you find them bland then try adding a cup of shredded cheddar cheese to make them more interesting.
-
great and easy recipe! i had to make my own mixture of baking powder but they turned out great.. i had them with sausage gravy.. no leftovers…
-
These biscuits turned out awesome!!! I tweeked the recipe some by added a generous amount of sharp cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and used garlic salt instead regular salt. My husband loved them, but wanted them to be sweeter. Next time, I will add more sugar and see how they turn out. I’ll make an updated review then…
-
These came out better than I expected, but nothing spectacular. I also left out the cream of tartar like others recommended.
-
These biscuits are quick, good, and easy. I haven’t used the cream of tartar just because I don’t buy it on a regular basis but these work just fine without. I have added brown sugar and cinnamon, and will try them with crushed garlic and herbs, Thanks.
-
A simple, easy recipe that would have been great had I not gotten distracted and burned the bottoms. They had a good texture with no rising problems. I used all whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour may not be as stable as white flour, but I am health concious and used it anyway. Also, I did not add the cream of tarter as per the reviews. Next time I will keep a closer watch.
-
These are pretty good! For a quick, easy, drop biscuit, I was impressed. They can be prepared in 2 minutes and no one at dinner knew the difference. I did make 1-1/2 batches of dough, and used my Pampered Chef large scoop to put them onto the baking stone. We ended up with 19 perfectly shaped biscuits. I’ll DEFINITELY make these again…..great with stew!
-
These biscuits brought me back to my grandmother’s kitchen. This is the easiest thing I’ve made in a long while!
-
These were okay. We ate them with sausage & gravy. Flatter than expected. Will stick to Betty Crocker.
-
I followed this recipe exactly and was disappointed in the results. The biscuits did not brown or turn golden on the top at all. I baked them for the maximum time of 12 min and was afraid to burn the bottom and bake them any longer. The consistency of the biscuit was not light and airy either. These tasted more like over blown pancakes. I think there is an error in the recipe- too much milk, too much cream of tartar, something. The only way I could eat them was slathered with lots of butter and honey. Will look for a different easy biscuit recipe.
-
after I put only half the milk called for into the batter, I knew it was too much…it looked like soup! I tried to fix it by adding a little flour. Unfortunately I added too much and they came out heavy, although they did tast good. I think I’ll give up trying to make homemade biscuits, I just can’t seem to get them to turn out.
-
Very easy and very tasty. A nice addition to dinner.
-
These were a cinch to make & i think were eaten just as fast !! Yummy!
-
Finally I can make a biscuit! I did leave out the cream of tartar. Good like they are or add some garlic and shredded cheddar cheese for a change.
-
Made corn chowder tonight and decided at the last minute I wanted biscuits. For like no planning and about 2 minutes effort, these are great, although they do crumble. My tummy won’t notice the difference though! Next time will try with cheddar garlic and herbs.
-
These have been a favorite in our house since my daughter found this recipe here. The best!!! We are biscuit lovers too… These never disappoint…
-
It isn’t the best tasting biscuit i’ve had, but it is SO easy to make.
-
This were so easy and I tought they tasted pretty good. I also baked them on my Pampered Chef stone and they were perfectly browned!
-
Wow! We really liked these simple to make biscuits. I added a little vanilla to make them a little sweet. Everyone loved them
Thanks for sharing. -
These were great! Better than Bisquick, and took me five minutes to put together. I feel that this might not have worked for others because they goofed up something…these brown beautifully and taste GREAT! thanks!
-
These are super-easy. A great basic biscuit for an extra side to any meal. Serve with honey!
-
These were really easy to prepare. I only used half of the cream of tartar, and, after reading the reviews, I used regular salted butter. I also brushed a little melted butter on the top of the biscuits before baking, and because I used my toaster oven, I baked them at 425 degrees for about 8 minutes. They turned out great: fluffy on the inside, and golden brown on the outside! Delish!!!
-
Very easy. My son can’t eat dairy so I substituted plain soy milk and canola oil. They came out great. I cooked them in my cast iron drop biscuit pan, wonderfully crispy on the outside and flakey on the inside. I also made a variation by using applesause and soy milk, adding cinnamon and apple chunks. I added a little more sugar to sweeten and they are a great dessert. I have always added more fluid than it calls for, probably about 1/2cup more since I am baking them in cast iron pan.
-
These were very easy to make and very fast!! Left out the cream of tartar because I didnt have any on hand. Very very good!
-
I give 5 stars for a fabulous base recipe. I added parmesan cheese, basil, and oregano to the batter for extra taste which worked really well. I’d say about 1/2 Tbs of each. My batter was light and fluffy although they biscuits looked something more like cookies when they came out of the oven. This might have been the way I set the batter on the pan. Next time i’ll make more effort to keep them rounder. Thanks for sharing.
-
I love this recipe. It is so easy and quick to make. I have made these biscuits about 10 times already and they taste great everytime.I never use the cream of tartar that the recipe asks for and they still come out perfect. I even add alot of garlic powder and shredded cheddar to the mix to have some garlic cheddar biscuits.I have even made these biscuits just to snack on. I will never try any other recipe but this. Thanks!!!
-
This recipe was so easy and turned out great. However, the bisquits were rather bland. A good base recipe. I will make again and add cheese, etc.
-
So quick and easy!
-
These biscuits were excellent. I substituted whole wheat flour for the all-purpose flour, and I added 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 2 tbsp. of cinnamon, and as suggested, I left out the cream of tarter. Very fast, and all of my siblings loved them!
-
quick, simple, and very tasty!
-
Absolutely as billed — easy and delicious. Try using bacon drippings instead of the melted butter for a breakfast treat!
-
Very Easy Recipe, I was looking for a biscuit recipe that didn’t require a lot of work. We eat biscuits a lot with our meals and a regular biscuit recipe is just too much work to do every night for a family of 5. These were very light. They didn’t rise as much as I had hoped but I think that is due to the fact I used oil instead of butter. Next time I will use butter and see what happens. I also left out the cream of tarter. Will use again and again.
-
These were very good for how quick they were to make.
-
Very easy and taste good too
-
These are real good, I added cheese and they were even better !
-
My husband and I loved the taste! The biscuits were super easy. I did have a little problem with them spreading and coming out a lot more flat than I thought they should, but I will try to do better next time. I am looking forward to experimenting with cheese and spices!
-
My family loves my biscuits, and these were even better! Lighter than usual and SO easy to make.
-
These biscuits were so yummy! I added about 1/3 cup shedding cheddar and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. I’ll definitely make these again.
-
I used the cream of tartar, these were wonderful!
-
The adults loved em! the kids…eh…what do they know. I added Colby Jack instead of cheddar like was recommended and I don’t think I would do that next time. I was also afraid they weren’t cooked and baked them a little longer than i should have. I will definitely make them again and I am sure they will be a hit with everyone.
-
Excellent easy receipe. Note – Baking Soda already has some Cream of Tarter, or similar acidic leavening in it, and this may be the reason Cream of Tarter may be left out without too noticeable an effect. Also note all dry ingredients should be mixed THROUGHLY before adding liquids.
Finally, note there is a TIME LIMIT of about 15 to 20 minutes from the time you have added liquid to Baking Powder until you start baking them for Baking Power to have its best leavening(rising)affects. So be sure to preheat oven so its ready for baking when bisquits mixed and ready
-
Oh my goodness! These biscuits are dangerously good! I made them to go with some homemade chili and before we even realized it, my husband and I had eaten all 12! These bisuits are so light and fluffy, better than any recipe I have ever tried. Thank you so much for sharing it! 🙂
-
Easy, easy easy, did I mention these are easy? Delicious, I love drop biscuits because they are no trouble. My batch only made 10 biscuits I think the recipe said the yield was 12. Served with homemade sausage gravy and eggs. Way better than the yellow box drop biscuits!
-
I halved the recipe and used 1/3 teaspoon of baking soda instead of baking powder as I didn’t have any on hand and threw in some shredded mixed-cheese (so I can use them before they go bad). It made 5 scone-like biscuit. It was great – probably not as soft as it would be if I had use baking powder. I’m not a great chef and this was an easy recipe to follow.
-
I tried these for dinner tonight. I needed something quick that my 2 year old would eat. I halved the recipe and added shredded cheddar cheese and baked in a mini muffin tin. it made a perfect amount for the 12 muffin tin. YUM! We made a meal of them with steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Really great and quick! Thanks!!
-
I just made this recipe and something must be wrong with it. The dough was way too liquid and all baked together on the cookie sheet, and barely rose. I double checked all the amounts, it must be 3 cups of flour instead of 2. What a mess!
-
This is my new fav recipe. So quick and easy and really yummy. Cannot wait to serve them with dinner tonight with homemade soup(if I can stop eating them!!). I added some shredded cheese and next time I’ll add some mustard powder for a bit of a kick.
