Honestly, I never heard of drop biscuits until I saw some great recipes online a while back. By the way, this drop biscuit recipe by Baker Bettie is incredible. And you only need five ingredients to make them.
By the way, drop biscuits are a convenient and easy way to make biscuits. You don’t even need a rolling pin to make these biscuits, which is a great time saver indeed.
It’s not that I don’t also enjoy rolling and cutting out dough as well. It’s just that most often there’s not enough time to do it, for most of us.

Savory Cheddar and Garlic Drop Biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp sugar (optional – I just added in a bit to balance out the saltiness)
- 1 /2 tbsp cold butter
- 1/4 – 1/2 tsp garlic powder (use 1/4 tsp for a milder garlic flavor or use 1/2 tsp for a bit stronger garlic flavor)
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (start at 1/4 cup, but if you’d like more cheddar flavor – add 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup and 2 1/2 tbsp milk (dairy-free or regular)
Instructions
- In large bowl combine the flour, garlic powder (if using), baking powder, and salt thoroughly.
- Cut the butter in by using a pastry blender or the back of a fork. *You can even use two knives if you have to – just use a see-saw motion to cut the butter in* The mixture should look like coarse crumbs..
- Add in your preferred amount of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Now add in the milk. Combine until a soft dough forms. Scoop out 1 1/2 tbsp of dough and add to parchment-lined baking sheet. *Should make around six – depending on the size*
- Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes until browned to your liking. Brush with a little melted butter immediately after baking, if desired.
