What are Drop Biscuits?
These easy drop biscuits use cold butter, buttermilk, and a touch of sugar, giving them a tender crumb and rich flavor. Unlike traditional rolled biscuits, this recipe keeps things simple—no kneading or cutting required. Just scoop the dough, bake, and enjoy warm biscuits that are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. It’s the kind of recipe that feels homemade in the best way, yet also approachable for any home cook.
Whether you’re serving them alongside eggs and smoked trout, topping them with jam, or enjoying them straight from the oven, these biscuits are a must-have for your holiday brunch menu. Chef David Haick’s Glendorn Drop Biscuits are proof that the best recipes don’t have to be complicated—they just need the right balance of comfort, flavor, and tradition.
