I grew up eating biscuits. My mom’s from Alabama and she would make ‘soda’ biscuits which are very different from buttermilk biscuits. I’ve never really perfected her biscuit recipe and usually make buttermilk biscuits instead. I use Alton Brown’s recipe which I’ve adapted for my Easy Herbed Buttermilk Drop Biscuits.
This recipe couldn’t be easier. Simply combine all the dry ingredients, add the butter and buttermilk and mix until combined. I use my stand mixer but you could easily do this by hand.
So, you may ask, what do you use drop biscuits for? Well, they are – by far – my favorite way to top a pot pie or a stew.
