American Drop Biscuits

Popeye's Biscuit is the inspiration for me to find out the recipe to make my own. I could not remember where I got this recipe from coz when I first started baking I noted some recipes without the source details. In my baking bible I only saw this recipe as buttermilk biscuit. I bake these biscuits every month and have been fine tuning the recipe to make drop biscuit instead. With many experiments in this recipe, finally I got the best drop biscuit recipe for my family and it made my hubby and I changed our minds to love homemade biscuits than commercial one from Popeye!

This recipe is super easy and fast to bake. You will spend only 30 mins to prepare the ingredient and bake after that you will enjoy hot biscuits out from the oven. They are great for tea time with a cup of tea or else you can eat them with fried chicken or many kinds of soup you prefer as well. Don't worry about the biscuits will be too dry coz this recipe will make you experience the cripsy outside with soft & fluffy texture inside. I'm sure you will love them ^^
