We all have our favorite recipes from scratch that are our go-to favorites. These homemade drop biscuits have been a family favorite for years. I love that they are made from ingredients that I always have on hand, and can be on my table in under 20 minutes. These biscuits are the perfect accompaniment to a hearty winter meal like stew, but also taste great warmed up with my morning coffee. One thing is for certain, you won’t believe how easy these drop biscuits with no yeast are to make!
Drop Biscuit Tips:
After making this recipe so many times, I’ve learned a couple of things. It is important to start pre-heating your oven right away. You do not want this batter to sit or be over-mixed. It is important to work fast. The sooner you get them into the oven after you mix the wet ingredients in with the dry, the better the taste. I’ve also found that whole milk creates a better biscuit over 1% milk. They do taste great either way, but the extra fat does make them even better.
To make the perfect biscuits every time, I recommend always using a quality lined baking sheet like the one below. I love using silicone baking mats because they can be used over and over again and clean up great! Together they made a gorgeous biscuit bottom without burning. I like using a muffin (4 tablespoon) steel scoop. This is a must have for quickly dropping the biscuits plus it works great for large cookies or filling tins for muffins or cupcakes!

Serve these homemade drop biscuits with butter, honey, jam, apple butter or great for dipping into soups. (I often serve mine with this yummy Italian Soup.) We especially love them with butter and honey. Would also taste great with some shredded cheese mixed in. Super simple and very delicious!
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 to 3 tablespoons sugar (depending upon how sweet you like them)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 cup milk (whole milk preferred)
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Mix together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
- Add melted butter and milk. Stir just until moistened.(Best to let melted butter cool a bit before adding)
- Immediately drop by heaping tablespoons (15 biscuits) onto lightly greased or parchment paper/silicone baking sheet lined large cookie sheet.
- Cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges turn golden brown.
Looking for a something to pair with these tasty biscuits? Give this Olive Garden copycat Zuppa Toscana recipe a try. It is AMAZING!
If you are interested in making these same biscuits more hearty, see this delicious recipe for Cheesy Bacon and Chive Homemade Biscuits.
Adding orange or lemon zest and some fresh fruit like cranberries or blueberries is also fantastic. Check out this slightly altered recipe for Homeade Cranberry Orange Drop Biscuits. So good!

September 26, 2010 at 7:49 amThank you so much! Ineed an easy biscuits recipe so I can stop purchasing cans. I’ve tried many that aren’t very good…this is now bookmarked!
Sandra Friedl says
April 17, 2018 at 5:19 pmI have made these drop biscuits an used heavy whipping cream instead of whole milk. I do love them more with the heavy whipping cream. But either way these are so good.

August 11, 2019 at 4:09 pmThese came out flat like cookies. I knew 1 cup of milk was a lot since the dough was watery but I wanted to follow the recipe. I will be using only 1/2 cup of milk next time..
Emilie says
August 12, 2019 at 9:54 amLetty thanks so much for trying this drop biscuits recipe! I can tell you I’ve made this recipe several dozen times and they’ve never come out flat except when I once forgot the baking powder. Is it possible you left out the baking powder, measured something wrong or let the batter sit a while before placing them in the oven? I do mention in this post that it is very important that you quickly get them into the oven once you mix the wet and dry ingredients together. It does make a pretty sticky dough and that is normal. I would not make with less milk as the recipe is very well tested. Give it a try again and just make sure to read carefully through all the instructions. Good luck and hope you love these biscuits as much as I do!
Sugar Bean says
November 1, 2019 at 9:08 pmI just made my first batch of these drop biscuits this evening and they were awesome fluffy biscuits! Definitely adding this to my favorites!
Stacy says
February 25, 2020 at 4:43 pmThank you for this wonderful recipe! I’ve made them following your directions exactly, many times now and they come out perfect! A trick I’ve found is when you pour in the milk, make sure it’s very cold… Then pour in the melted butter where you dumped the milk, stir that area quickly. It re-solidifies the butter into tiny crumbles, to the same effect as if you’ve “cut in” the butter in the more time consuming recipes. It makes for a wonderfully fluffy biscuit! Tonight I’m going out on a limb and trying 2 tablespoons less of butter, and substituting 2 tablespoons light olive oil to try to cut back on the saturated fat. We’ll see how it goes!
Stacy says
October 26, 2019 at 11:16 amThis is the best recipe I have found so far. I can finally say, Bye to the can.
Thank you for sharing.
Roxanne Brackley says
November 2, 2019 at 7:43 pmOh my wow! These biscuits are absolutely delicious. They can’t be any easier and the taste any better! Thank you so much for sharing this fabulous biscuit recipe with us! The family fought over them, they are that great.
heidi L bragg says
February 25, 2020 at 6:32 pmThis is the third time I have made these biscuits and I love them with home made beef stew Wich I am making tonight for dinner. Having friends over so let’s hope they love them as much as I do thank you for sharing your recipe.

Brianne C. says
January 22, 2011 at 12:37 pmMy son and hubby love biscuits, but sadly I have never had a happy outcome when making homemade biscuits. This recipe looks delicious, and even better than that, easy. Thank you for sharing! I can’t wait to give it a try 😉
Tamara B. says
January 22, 2011 at 12:44 pmThank-you for posting the wonderful recipe! We love bscuits but havebeen afraid to try to attempt to make them myself because I thought they were so difficult to make so I just buy the canned biscuits.
Leah Walker says
January 25, 2011 at 7:30 pmOh man, that sounds so good, and so easy. I absolutely love bread in any shape or form. This right here is why I am super glad I found blogs. The recipes are simple and cost effective. My family is so very picky and blog owners have recipes that don’t try to be too fancy so my family really likes them when I find some to try. I am definitely marking this to try.
Julia S. says
February 22, 2011 at 7:22 amI will bake this with kids, so they enjoy cooking.
thanks for sharing it..
Donna B. says
June 26, 2011 at 7:32 pmThis was an easy recipe – I added some shredded cheddar and roasted garlic, they were almost as good as the ones we get at Red Lobster 🙂

Cheryl Abdelnour says
June 29, 2012 at 1:37 pmThese look very similar to what I make except I use oil instead of butter. I will have to try making them with butter, My kids always want me to make them for the holiday meals. Pinning it now. Thanks!
Michelle says
August 7, 2012 at 9:10 pmMade these tonight, using whole-wheat flour with no other changes, and my family LOVES them. It’s great to have a go-to biscuit recipe that needs no special ingredients. Will definitely be making these again. Thank you!
bethkate says

Leanne says
December 19, 2018 at 9:02 amHas anyone made these with almond flour? Have some family that is gluten free so wondering if almond flour would work.
Brooke says
April 16, 2019 at 1:49 pmI just made them with gluten free flour from Bob’s Red Mill and they turned out amazing!
Randy says
December 9, 2012 at 11:16 amTHANK YOU! My wife and kids have always asked me to find a better biscuit recipe and we have been on a quest for perfect drop biscuits for our biscuits and gravy habit. This one was a hit! I added one more tablespoon of sugar, and they were devoured…most of them plain without any topping. That’s how you know you have a good biscuit. Thank you for sharing this goodness, our quest has ended.
Beth Rees says
January 31, 2013 at 7:37 pmWe love making biscuits. We normally do cut biscuits, so I would love to try the drop biscuits to make the process a little faster
Gretchen says
February 10, 2013 at 6:12 pmThese were FABULOUS and so easy, I added scallions, jalapeno, & cheddar cheese, to go with,
gumbo and red beans & rice….perfect! Thank you!!
Erin says
March 24, 2013 at 4:34 pmLOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe! I’ve used it a million times (since you first posted it!) – it really has an awesome flavor – and SO easy! We make these at least once a week!
Sandy VanHoey says
April 17, 2013 at 8:36 amWhy do mine never turn out like this. Maybe I best copy your recipe and try it. I have so much trouble making my own that I had given up and bought store biscuits.
Lisa says
August 24, 2013 at 11:52 amThank (((you)))…… I finally got it right! Now my sister won’t be the only one who can make biscuits from scratch! No more cans for my boys!!! GOD BLESS!
Michelle F. says
January 18, 2014 at 2:17 amOMG, these were GREAT! I absolutely loved these and will definitely be making these from now on instead of the canned. Thanks so much for this recipe!
Melinda says
January 21, 2014 at 7:31 pmWe make these delicious drop biscuits weekly, since finding this recipe a few months ago. Thank you for the great yummy recipe!
Jenna says
January 1, 2015 at 9:20 amI made these in a cast iron skillet. Delicious!! My new go to recipe!
Amy @ Ms. Toody Goo Shoes says

Janice Wald says
February 27, 2015 at 11:55 pmHI,
I make Biscuit biscuits that look like this, but I see you use flour. Thank you for coming to the Inspire Me Monday Linky party and linking up with us this week.
I’m Janice, one of your hostesses.
Renee says
April 18, 2015 at 9:10 amThanks for a very good looking recipe. Exactly what I was looking for. They look sooooo yummy. Going to make for strawberry shortcake for dessert tonight. I can’t wait.
Odyssey Flynt says
July 26, 2015 at 8:17 pmThank you so much for this…It was soooo good and so easy to make
Michelle says
January 6, 2016 at 3:01 pmHave you tried to freeze these? Would love to make a batch and have them on hand for the kids’ breakfast.
Barb says
February 6, 2016 at 9:34 amWonderful and easy biscuit! I will be making these many times.
Christine says
February 15, 2016 at 8:46 pmThese were really easy to make and tasted very good. I live at a higher altitude so I set the oven at 400 and turned off the oven after nine minutes and covered the biscuits w/tin foil for another five minutes..came out perfectly. Thanks!
Rajee Pandi says
April 4, 2016 at 7:17 pmgoing to try it soon
Jalayne says
May 1, 2016 at 10:56 amI made these this morning and they were SUPER easy (my 8 year old helped) They were soft on the inside with just a little crunch on the outside. With a hint of sweet! (I have tried a lot of recipes for these and a lot of times it’s too salty) Perfect for sausage and biscuits, eating with butter and jam, and I can see making breakfast sandwiches with them! This will be my go to recipe!
Ed says
September 28, 2016 at 7:00 pmBest biscuits I’ve made in long time
Thank you
April says
October 9, 2016 at 10:25 pmJust made these so good and so easy to make. Never made homemade busicuts before but now I know how easy and good they are I’ll never buy store bought again. Thanks for the recipe!
Julie Wood says
November 8, 2016 at 10:14 amI want to make these biscuits recipe for Thanksgiving. They look delicious and easy to make. thanks for the recipe!!
Deanna Miles says
January 1, 2017 at 9:43 amI tried this “So easy drop biscuits” recipe this morning and they were really delicious. I didn’t have whole milk so I used 1 cup of canned evaporated milk. It was great. It made 12 biscuits as I don’t like them tiny. They were small/med size. Also I reduced the oven temp to 425* instead of the 450* because I don’t like my bottoms of biscuits super dark. They turned out for me, but I know everyone’s oven operates slightly different so do what you are comfortable with. 10 min was enough as they were done throughout and the bottoms were a deep golden brown already. Thank you for posting this recipe, It was so easy and fast to make!
patricia caradonna says
March 7, 2017 at 5:26 amI didn’t realize making homemade biscuits from scratch could be so easy. Thank you for this wonderful recipe. It looks easy and delicious.
Kristy says
March 9, 2017 at 7:28 pmThese are my favorite new biscuits! I’ve made them three times since I found the recipe. The first time they turned out perfectly, but the second and third times they turned out really, really thin (today’s looked like pancakes). Any ideas why that might happen? They still taste delicious, they’re just a little off. Thanks!
Jessica says
July 11, 2017 at 2:40 pmI made these using two tablespoons of sugar and they came out great. I made 8 larger biscuits and baked them a bit longer.
Rosie says
July 20, 2017 at 9:23 amI have been making rolls with yeast, and sometimes scones with baking powder. I would love to try baking powder biscuits, these sound delish and less work, which is nice for summer. I still make soup in the slow cooker during summer, and nothing is as good as homemade biscuits to go with it.
Molly T. says
August 20, 2017 at 8:08 amThank you! I have them in the oven right now. I’m always looking for fast and easy recipes. I have a household of 7 becoming 8 in February. So Its important to have fast and easy. Thank you again.
Felicia says
October 1, 2017 at 5:50 pmAwesome recipe , thank you for sharing. Although I tweaked it a bit because I’ve never had any luck using all purpose flour. I used self rising flour, buttermilk and butter ,,and dropped them in my preheated, buttered cast iron biscuit pan,,I am now the biscuit maker of the family,,haha! 😉
I also add a little shredded cheese sometimes, turns out perfect!
Crystal says
November 4, 2017 at 8:26 amGrabbed your recipe, realized that I was out of butter, so I swapped with room temperature refined coconut oil (no coconut taste), they still turned out great! Thanks so much!
Amelia says
November 8, 2017 at 5:01 pmI made these today & they were great. I did some cheddar cheese..delish!
Pollyann says
November 21, 2017 at 5:06 pmEasy and yummy and perfect. ??
Samantha B. says
December 7, 2017 at 11:28 pmThese were absolutely amazing! I had to improvise for what I had but they turned out nice and fluffy! I used whole wheat flour, soy milk and coconut sugar (1TBSP) instead. Awesome recipe.. will use time and time again!
Melissa says
December 26, 2017 at 10:19 amSo yummy! Finally I have found my go to biscuit recipe!!! Thank you for sharing!

Penina says
January 3, 2018 at 10:46 amMade these today and added some rosemary in both the wet and dry ingredients before baking, and then stirred some in melted butter along with a little garlic powder and Parmesan cheese which I brushed over the tops after they came out of the oven! Very good! Thank you for this recipe!
Hope says
January 4, 2018 at 8:04 pmSo yummy and so easy!
Jennifer says
January 7, 2018 at 10:26 amGreat recipe! Biscuits are delicious. We added lil smokies for homemade pigs in a blanket and turned out so good. The dough is easy to spread and very versatile recipe. Cooked for 9 mins as directed then turn d off h at and left them in for last 2 mins. Can’t wait to try again
Alina says
January 15, 2018 at 7:40 pmWow! These actually we’re easy and tasted good! My kids wanted to eat the whole batch! I have failed every “easy” biscuit recipe I’ve come come across, but these were a win!!! Thank you so much!!
Kimberly says
January 21, 2018 at 12:40 pmThese were so good and satisfying. My family ate them in like five minutes… Thanks!
Kimberly says
January 23, 2018 at 9:23 pmI followed the recipe but with organic flour, organic milk, organic butter and organic cane sugar. I haven’t been able to find organic biscuit mix at the store. The organic can biscuits are priced just over $3 a can. This is more affordable and works. They browned fast on top so next time I will bake at a lower temperature.
Helen says
February 17, 2018 at 10:14 amMade drop biscuits this morning for my family they were delicious. Excellet recipe.
Gabrielle says
February 22, 2018 at 10:41 amThank you! I needed a quick recipe to go with sausage gravy (biscuits and gravy, yum!) and am known for being a bad baker. These turned out great and even my husband was impressed!
Laura says
February 27, 2018 at 7:18 pmThey were kind of bland, I’m not the biggest fan but they were very easy to make!
Angie B says
February 28, 2018 at 10:39 pmI WAS going to comment that these were the worst biscuits I’ve ever had, but then I realized I used baking SODA instead of baking POWDER!! ?? I’ll definitely try them again and use the correct ingredients.
tom says
March 4, 2018 at 10:19 amThank you for a great recipe. I used 3tbsp sugar and added low sodium old bay seasonings. They were very similar to Red Lobster biscuits.
Erica says
April 6, 2018 at 4:08 pmMade these exactly as stated and they are great.
Nalini Rhea says
April 9, 2018 at 10:41 pmThese look delicious and easy to fix. Question: I am scheduled to make 120 biscuits for a church breakfast. I am planning on baking them 2 to 3 days in advance. Can I freeze these and thaw them at room temperature the morning of the breakfast? Or will it affect the texture of the biscuits?
Emilie says
April 11, 2018 at 10:27 amNalina that is a great question! I’ve never tried freezing the biscuits before because we eat them too fast. I would definitely do a test run with them to be sure it doesn’t affect the texture. Please let us know how it goes!
Nalini Rhea says
May 6, 2018 at 1:32 pmI’m happy to report that these froze beautifully and thawed just fine with no degradation in taste or texture. I made one batch with whole milk and one with heavy whipping cream as Sandra Freidel suggested, and both were successful from freezer to table. After letting the biscuits cool completely, I laid them in single layers on paper towels inside freezer bags. When thawing, I removed them from the freezer bag onto fresh paper towels on a wire rack. What great tasting biscuits! I shall be proud to serve them at our community-wide breakfast next Saturday.
Emilie says
May 7, 2018 at 9:18 amI’m so glad that these will work for your breakfast on Saturday. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment so others can do the same if needed. Good luck with your breakfast!!
Brian says
April 24, 2018 at 10:19 amMade these with last night’s dinner as a last minute side. Super easy to make and very tasty. The family went bonkers over these. I added a half cup of fresh shredded cheddar cheese to the mix and sprinkled a little on top of each before popping into the oven. Came out awesome. Next I think I’ll try adding some scallions to the mix along with the cheddar. This seems like a great recipe to try adding different ingredients and experimenting a little.
Josephine says
April 26, 2018 at 9:00 amCan these be made the night before? Will it affect the taste or texture in any way? Have you tried that? Thanks in advance!
Emilie says
May 7, 2018 at 9:16 amI find that the taste and texture is best right out of the oven like most bread products but they still taste very good the next day.
Sophia A. says
April 30, 2018 at 11:24 pmAmazing. My first time making a homemade biscuit. So easy and delicious. 100% my new biscuits and gravy Sunday morning breakfast.
Sergio says
May 18, 2018 at 8:11 amSo Simple and Satisfying !!
Got up early in the morning and said ‘I feel like biscuits today’. I didn’t have any bisquick so I looked for a ‘from scratch’ recipe.
You saved my day !!!
Will be making these again!
Perfect mix.
(Former Prep Cook; Single Dad).
Elaine Garner says
June 1, 2018 at 6:51 pmI made these today with self-rising flour and they were delicious! I’ll stop trying to find a perfect biscuit recipe now. I’ve found it!
Sarah at BibleBaton says
June 21, 2018 at 10:24 pmLOVE how easy and fast these are!! And they always turn out good, too. Great recipe.
Shannon says
July 19, 2018 at 3:31 amI have tried many drop biscuit recipes and this by far is the best one yet. Definitely a new family favorite.
RachelA says
July 21, 2018 at 10:08 pmSo glad I found this recipe, thank you! The flavor and texture are not compromised by the simplicity of this recipe. I used half and half with excellent results.
L.B. says
July 27, 2018 at 10:25 amThank God I found this recipe. I love this one as it uses melted butter and as I’m sure there are others, I have made many drop biscuit recipes and this one is my fave!
I lost it though a few months ago and was worried I wouldn’t be able to find it again but here it is! 🙂 saving the page this time lol
Addison says
July 31, 2018 at 5:52 pmSo I have been making drop biscuits for years and this recipe is perfect. favorite Italian dishes are elevated. Instead of cheddar cheese add parmesan.
Nancy Verhalen says
August 29, 2018 at 10:38 pmI made these biscuits tonight for biscuits and gravy. Ive never made homemade biscuits before but they turned out great. ? I did use skim milk instead of whole cuz we dont drink anything but skim. Also, they took 20 minutes in the oven! Never the less, I will always use this recipe from now on instead of buying store bought biscuits.
Ash says
September 5, 2018 at 11:49 amI was super skeptical of this recipe at first but I was just looking for a quick biscuit recipe so I gave it a shot. I was worried about the liquid to flour ratio being too liquidy (that happens with some drop biscuit recipes :/ and then they just are puddles! not good). I followed everything, though, and the dough came out perfect texture! I really appreciated the reminder not to over mix and the note to pop the biscuits in the oven ASAP for best texture. The biscuits are PERFECT ? Very delicious! I will DEFINITELY be making this my go to biscuit recipe. The only issue was that I wish they were a touch saltier but I don’t think thats a recipe issue because I just eyeballed the salt and may have been under.
Miriam says
September 8, 2018 at 11:06 amThank you for this fantastic recipe!!! I make cut biscuits for the holidays but they take so long — and now I’m whipping these up in the morning before school — and so little clean up! The best part is the melted butter, which works perfectly and is so easy!!! They’re delicious!
Janice Walker says
October 6, 2018 at 12:40 pmYummy!just made these and were a hit! Thanks!
Toni says
October 9, 2018 at 1:26 pmJust took these out of the oven. OMG! They are delicious and so fast and easy. The only variation I did was to use heavy whipping cream and 2 tsp of sugar. Definitely a keeper.
Ashley Wilson says
October 25, 2018 at 6:01 pmOh. My. Word. These were hands down the best biscuits I have ever eaten! So easy for a weeknight meal and beyond delicious. This will be a staple recipe in our homes! Thank you for the recipe!!!
Julia says
October 29, 2018 at 12:30 pmCan I put these in cupcake tins to bake?
Emilie says
November 4, 2018 at 10:35 amInteresting idea! I’m sure you could but I would definitely grease the tins before baking. If you try it, let me know how it turns out!
j-rock to the crock pot. says
December 5, 2018 at 1:32 pmI’ve spent my whole life around A LOT of old bitches who love to make scratch biscuits, but whoever came up with this is version a baaaaaad woman. These the best lumpdumps aroundtownhandsdown yessirr.
Gloria Davis says
December 19, 2018 at 2:00 pmGreat recipe. I’d add more salt to recipe and right when they come out butter on top. I didn’t need to spray the parchment paper with anything. They came right off. Thanks. Will use in the future for my breakfast and dinners.
Tanyatica says
December 30, 2018 at 2:42 pmLet me first start out by saying… I NEVER comment on Blogs. But this is DEFINITELY worth a comment.
Just made these cause I was craving biscuits (did not have the canned one on hand and wanted to make an easy recipe without the kneadin’ and all that jazz!)
I halved the recipe and it came out OH SO AMAZING! I’m actually eating it right now — out of the oven with melted butter! Only suggestion is.. I wouldn’t put sugar in it. I don’t think sugar and biscuits go together but that’s just me!
Thanks for this amazing recipe! Will definitely be making more in the future!
Rachel Andersom says
January 6, 2019 at 2:23 pmThese were absolutely delicious! My husband added ham, cheese, and a variety of herbs to half the dough. Holy mackeral, delicious both ways! I am so excited to have these with my homemade apple butter!
Jen says

November 2, 2019 at 9:16 amI found this recipe from a search & boy is it a winner! I wanted biscuits & sausage gravy for one this a.m. Made half of the recipe (without sugar) in only a few minutes and it made five nice-size biscuits. Baked them for 15 minutes. Will be using this recipe many times in the future. Thanks!

November 3, 2019 at 8:49 amThese were quick, easy, and made of things I always keep on hand. I even make them with 2% milk (because it was what I had) and they were great. This is a keeper recipe!

November 20, 2019 at 9:33 pmVery easy. Whipped up in 5 minutes. My Mom used to make these when I was a kid. Delicious and you can add your own flair. Thank you!

Emilie- Thank you… turned out great., my observations. I dropped them bigger, I guess ?
1. Makes about 11 decent sized drop biscuits. Not 15
3. Took about 15 minutes total prep time and 10 -12 minutes baking time.
5. Preheating oven to 450 F takes the most time, so heating it up as you gather ingredients speeds it up.
6. Mixing takes a minute or less.
7. Cooling the melted butter to finger touch temp took about 5 minutes
I would add pictures, but can’t figure out how to attach them.

December 25, 2019 at 3:21 pmThese are so good! My grandmother always crumbled a few biscuits into her cornbread dressing. I don’t know that it makes a difference, but I’m not messing with tradition. Got ready to make biscuits, and but was out of baking mix. (yeah, hers were always homemade, but I cheated) Found your recipe, and it was so easy. The biscuits are tender, and not crumbly. I ate two while I was making the dressing.

March 17, 2020 at 3:59 pmThank you for this wonderful recipe! I’ve made them following your directions exactly, many times now and they come out perfect! A trick I’ve found is when you pour in the milk, make sure it’s very cold… Then pour in the melted butter where you dumped the milk, stir that area quickly. It re-solidifies the butter into tiny crumbles, to the same effect as if you’ve “cut in” the butter in the more time consuming recipes. It makes for a wonderfully fluffy biscuit! Tonight I’m going out on a limb and trying 2 tablespoons less of butter, and substituting 2 tablespoons light olive oil to try to cut back on the saturated fat. We’ll see how it goes!
