E-Z DROP BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar and salt. Stir in butter and milk just until moistened. Drop batter on a lightly greased cookie sheet by the tablespoon.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden on the edges, about 8 to 12 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Dice the butter into small pieces and place it in the freezer while you prepare the other ingredients.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. (If adding any herbs, garlic powder, or black pepper, do it here.)
• Scatter the cold butter pieces over the top. With a pastry blender (or my favorite, your fingers), cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Some pieces may be the size of small pebbles and others as large as peas.
• In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, and honey until smoothly combined. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients a little at a time, stirring lightly between additions. (If adding cheese, add it slowly as you add the milk.) Stop stirring as soon as the dough holds together. It will be very moist and seem wet.
• Drop the batter by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. I like to use a muffin scoop for this-you'll have 9 large or 12(ish) more moderately sized biscuits total. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until the tops are golden and spring back lightly when touched. Enjoy warm.

Steps:

• In a measuring cup, or small bowl combine all the wet ingredients.
• In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and give it a good mix.
• Cut the butter into small pieces. Add the COLD butter to the dry ingredients. Blend in using either 2 knives or a pastry blender. It should resemble wet sand when your are done.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon, mix into a soft dough. I like to use my hands (they will get messy).
• Drop piles of dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Just break off little dough balls with your hand. You can make these as large or small as you wish.
• Bake for about 10-12 minutes until golden and crunchy on top. (Smaller biscuits will require less time).
• Remove from oven, and place biscuits on a cooling rack.
