Buttermilk Sourdough Discard Drop Biscuits

Let’s face it. We all want to make a “big” breakfast, one that everyone will truly enjoy, but we never have the time! If this is a relatable statement, drop biscuits are for you. No need to roll out dough and cut out biscuits, all you have to do is drop them in a pan and bake. So simple and easy, as well as a family favorite. This recipe is so flexible when it comes to toppings. We top ours with hot syrup and butter, jam, or molasses.

Hope you enjoy!

A delicious easy breakfast recipe you can throw together in a jiffy. No rolling out dough with this recipe, just simply drop dough in the pan and bake!

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 TBS baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 1/3 cup cold unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup sourdough discard
• 3/4 cup milk

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450 F.
2. Grease a round pie pan or skillet with butter.
3. In a large bowl, mix together dry ingredients. Using a grater, grate your cold butter into the bowl, and use a pastry cutter or your hands, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles course crumbs.
4. Add the buttermilk, sourdough discard, and milk, mixing with a spoon until the mixture seems "droppable". Not too wet, but not too dry. If your mixture is still too dry, add a bit a milk a little at a time until it becomes the right consistency.
5. Drop a spoonful at a time of the dough onto into your greased pan.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown.
7. Take out and serve while still hot with your topping of choice. Enjoy!
