Drop Biscuits

• doses: 6

Ingredientes

1½ cups all-purpose flour

1 heaping tablespoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

½ cup (1 stick) cold salted butter, cut into small pieces, plus 2 tablespoons, melted, for brushing

¾ cup buttermilk, homemade (see page 5) or store-bought

Flaky sea salt

Instruções

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. Add the pieces of cold butter to the bowl...

4. And use a pastry blender or two knives to cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

5. Add the buttermilk while stirring gently with a wooden spoon...

6. And stop right when the mixture comes together. Not overmixing is key!

7. Using two large spoons, drop (hence the name) six mounds onto the parchment-lined sheet pan. Leave them craggy on top!

8. Bake the biscuits until just the craggy edges turn golden, about 20 minutes.

9. Generously brush the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter on top of each biscuit.

10. Sprinkle the tops with a little flaky sea salt. Serve with absolutely everything!

Store in an airtight container overnight, then reheat them in the microwave (20 seconds per biscuit) or on a sheet pan in a 300°F oven for 10 minutes.
