There is nothing better than a warm, fluffy, homemade biscuit and my Quick Drop Honey Biscuits can be thrown together in no time and be on the table within 30 minutes! This recipe browns nicely on the bottoms to be perfectly crispy, while the middle is light and fluffy. They are perfect and buttery alone or even better when drizzled with honey.<\/p>\n

I love homemade biscuits but I don’t typically have the time in the mornings to roll them out, cut them and bake them with everything we have going on. Anyone else’s kids ravenous and ready to eat everything in sight as soon as they wake up? So I take a shortcut with this recipe and just use a good ole cookie scoop and drop them right on the baking pan! Super easy!!!<\/p>\n

\"Cooked<\/p>\n

The kiddos were studying bees earlier this year and our neighbors that we get our honey from had two different colors, a lighter traditional color honey and a much darker one. I figured slathering it over a biscuit seemed more yummy than just a little taste. We had no leftovers so I considered it a success!<\/p>\n

These are perfect for a side dish for almost anything. They go great with a soup or stew to soak up the yummy flavors, or with jam or butter to go with a staple like bacon and eggs. My personal favorite way to eat these though is as the main dish for biscuits and gravy! <\/p>\n

What ingredients are needed to make these Quick Drop Honey Biscuits?<\/h2>\n

Just like anything homemade, the best part is using real ingredients, especially with breads and biscuits.<\/p>\n

All-purpose flour \u2013<\/strong> All you need is your favorite white flour. This is a great, clean flour.<\/a><\/p>\n

Salt \u2013<\/strong> This adds flavor. This is one of my favorites!<\/a><\/p>\n

Baking Powder \u2013<\/strong> This will help give the bread rise. This is a good aluminum free option.<\/a><\/p>\n

Honey \u2013<\/strong> This adds just a touch of sweetness to these biscuits.<\/p>\n

Butter \u2013<\/strong> This is what will give your biscuits the golden crunchy crust. Do yourself a favor and use the real stuff too! Your taste buds will thank you as will the rest of your body.<\/p>\n

Tools you\u2019ll need for your recipe:<\/h2>\n

Sheet Pans \u2013<\/strong> Stainless Steel pans are the best for even cooking.<\/a><\/p>\n

Dough Hook or Wooden Spoon<\/strong>\u2013 Everyone needs a dough hook in their kitchen!<\/a><\/p>\n

Mixing Bowl  <\/b><\/a>or Food Processor<\/p>\n

Measuring Cups and Measuring Spoons<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

1 Tablespoon Cookie Scoop <\/strong><\/a>– or two spoons work too.<\/p>\n

How to make these Quick Drop Honey Biscuits:<\/h2>\n

You won’t believe how easy these biscuits really are. I’ll still walk you through all the steps though and you will be enjoying your own homemade biscuits in no time.<\/p>\n

Freeze your butter: Ok, this step isn’t mandatory BUT if you think about it, throw your butter in the freezer 20 minutes or so before you are ready to make these or even the night before. You can grate your butter to make it very simple to mix in. Just like with any butter recipe, you want your butter to stay as cold as possible before going into the oven. Like I said, this isn’t required but it helps make a nice fluffy biscuit if you will be mixing these by hand.<\/p>\n

Combine the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. If you are using a food processor, just toss it all in there. <\/p>\n

Add in your butter:
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This step instructions will be a little lengthy. You have a couple options. If you are using a food processor, you just need to add in the honey and cold butter. Cube your butter before adding it in so it mixes up quicker. One of my favorite biscuit making tricks though, is to freeze your butter if you are mixing by hand. This is not mandatory but a very easy way to mix in the butter so it doesn’t melt before getting to the oven.<\/p>\n

If you choose to freeze your butter:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Once the butter has gotten really cold in the freezer, you\u2019ll grate it on a box grater. This is really quick and easy to do. Then you can quickly mix the grated butter into the dry ingredients with your dough hook or a fork. You can also cube and rough chop really cold butter from the fridge too, anyway to get perfectly sized pieces of butter throughout your biscuits. If cutting in your butter with two knives or a pastry cutter is your thing instead, you do you! Whatever makes you happy. We are making biscuits from scratch, that is reason enough to be happy!<\/p>\n

\"Grated<\/p>\n

Mix in milk and honey:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Add your milk and honey into the bowl with the other ingredients. Use a fork or the amazing dough hook (it really is that good) or just flip that switch to the food processor to mix together. If the dough seems very dry and you are having a hard time getting it to come together, you can add 1 to 2 tablespoons more milk. <\/p>\n

\"Biscuit<\/p>\n

Fold the dough and roll out: <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Just kidding! These are quick drop biscuits, there is no folding or rolling required.<\/p>\n

Drop the biscuits: <\/strong><\/h3>\n

I love my large cookie scoop, it makes my life easy and I’m all about the help where I can get it. I just take one full scoop of the batter and drop it on the cookie sheet! It’s that simple, or you can take two spoons and do the scoop and scrape method with them. The only thing you want to think about is keeping them around the same size. You want to work quick here though because you don’t want the butter to start to warm up and melt into the dough. The colder the butter stays, the flakier the biscuit.<\/p>\n

\"Raw<\/p>\n

Time to bake:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Don’t forget, we are working quickly here, so get them in the oven. They will bake at 400 degrees for 12 to 13 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"Baked<\/p>\n

FAQs:<\/h2>\n

Does it matter if I use milk or buttermilk? <\/strong><\/p>\n

You can definitely use either, buttermilk will give it a little more of that traditional tangy flavor. It’s really just a taste preference. Both are amazing.<\/p>\n

Does the butter really need to stay cold? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, yes, and yes. The small pieces of butter create little steam pockets in the biscuits which will give you the flaky fluffy perfect little biscuit.<\/p>\n

Are these biscuits good next day? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes! These reheat wonderfully! Just pop in the oven at only 325 degrees for only 2 minutes or so to warm through. Using the oven to reheat instead of a microwave will keep them light and fluffy and not tough.<\/p>\n

How do I store these biscuits?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have any leftover or if you want to make a larger batch for the week, store in an airtight container in the fridge.<\/p>\n
