Easy Drop Biscuits

These are quick and easy, and so light and fluffy.  I'll often make some up to go with soup, pasta, or for breakfast.  So yummy and fast!

Drop Biscuits

2 c. all-purpose flour
1 T. baking powder
1/4-1/2 t. salt
1/3 c. (6 T.) butter, cut into small squares
1 c. milk (even better with homemade buttermilk!)

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt.  Using a pastry blender, cut in butter til mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  (I've also found I can do this with my hands, just rubbing the butter into the flour until it's mixed together).  make a well in the center of the dry mixture.  Add the milk all at once.  Using a fork, stir just till moistened.

Drop dough onto grease baking sheets.  I normally fill a 1/4 c. or 1/3 c. with batter, and spoon it out onto the baking sheet.  Makes about 8-10, depending on how big you make them. : )
