Easy Drop Biscuits
These simple drop biscuits are so quick and easy! We make versions of them for pretty much everything. Whether you're in the mood for sweet strawberry shortcake or blueberry glazed, or craving a more savory garlic cheddar, this versatile batter works great for all sorts of variations. And of course, they're perfect for biscuits and gravy!
Don't get me wrong, I do love a nicely cutout flaky biscuit, but those don't always fit into my last-minute, two-kids-hungry time table. These drop biscuits on the other hand couldn't be simpler: usually I whip them up after a long day of work, with a baby on one hip and a toddler "helping," and I still manage to get them on the table in less than 20 minutes start to finish. And best of all, I don't feel guilty about adding a biscuit as the side-dish because they are roughly 1 1/2 servings of whole grains in each one - Yay for fresh flour and phytonutrients! Quick, delicious, versatile and healthy? Yes please!
We hope you enjoy these as much as we do! We would love to see what other delicious variations you come up with! Tag @unsifted.kc on Instagram.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Mill the fresh flour
- Preheat oven to 425F
- Lightly grease baking sheet
- Set WonderMill® dial to “Pastry”
- Mill 1 ½ cups Unsifted® Dessert Blend grain
2. Combine dry ingredients in medium bowl
- Add all the unsifted flour
- Add 1 Tbsp baking powder
- Add 1 tsp salt
- Stir until thoroughly combined
3. Add wet ingredients
Pro Tip: Once wet ingredients are added, do NOT overmix. Stir until just combined so the biscuits stay light and fluffy.
- Add 1 Tbsp honey
- Add ¼ cup olive oil
- Add ¾ cup milk
- Using a spoon, stir until just combined
4. Drop on pan + Bake
Pro Tip: Be sure to have your oven pre-heated and pan greased; after Step 3, you want to immediately drop the biscuits onto the pan and bake without delay to ensure the best texture.
- Using a spoon, drop dough onto greased baking sheet 2" apart (about ⅓ cup each; try to make them about the same size so they cook evenly)
- Bake at 425F for 9-10 minutes, or until lightly browned (190-200F internal temperature)
STORAGE TIPS
Cooled biscuits may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, wrap in damp paper towel and microwave 20-30 seconds.
